From the following relationships between respiratory volume and capacities, mark the correct option.
 

i. Inspiratory Capacity (IC) = Tidal Volume + Residual Volume
ii. Vital Capacity (VC) = Tidal Volume (TV) + Inspiratory Reserve Volume
      (IRV) + Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV).
iii. Residual Volume (RV) = Vital Capacity (VC) — Inspiratory Reserve
     Volume (IRV)
iv. Tidal Volume (TV) = Inspiratory Capacity (IC) — Inspiratory Reserve
    Volume (IRV)
