Ans is A denitrogenation
Preoxygenation turns 21% oxygen in FRC to 100 % …becouse preoxygenation is done with 100% oxygen. So we can call it denitrogenation …
Confusion…it doesn’t mean that we are increasing FRC… becouse FRC is a volume which is fixed. We are just removing nitrogen from FRC by giving 100% oxygen, is called as preoxygenation…
