The minimum time it takes a normal person to go from residual volume (RV) to total lung capacity (TLC) is less than the minimum amount of time to go from TLC to RV. The most probable explanation for this effect is:

A. the chest wall tends to spring outward when the respiratory system is at RV.

B. the chest wall is less compliant at RV.

C. inspiratory muscles are stronger than expiratory muscles.

D. the lungs have less recoil at TLC.

E. the airways tend to collapse during forced expiration. (can you please explain why this is the answer)
