**Question:**What is the term for a fall in plasma pH that is predominantly caused by an inability to exhale sufficient carbon dioxide?**Options:**A) Metabolic acidosisB) Metabolic alkalosisC) Respiratory acidosisD) Respiratory alkalosis---**Explanation:**This multiple-choice question assesses the understanding of acid-base disturbances in human physiology. It specifically focuses on conditions related to carbon dioxide retention and its impact on blood pH levels.- **Metabolic acidosis** is a condition where there is a decrease in blood pH due to metabolic factors.- **Metabolic alkalosis** involves an increase in pH due to metabolic causes.- **Respiratory acidosis** is characterized by a decrease in blood pH as a result of inadequate removal of carbon dioxide by the lungs.- **Respiratory alkalosis** is when there is an increase in blood pH due to excessive exhalation of carbon dioxide.The correct answer to this question is likely **C) Respiratory acidosis**, as it aligns with the scenario described.
