At the end of normal inspiration, pleural pressure is the most negative, typically -7 cm H2O.
hence option D is correct.

The correct answer is D. The pleural pressute is most negative i.e about -7 cm H2O.
At the end of inspiration(when flow stops temporarily) the alveolar preasure is equal to the barometric pressure =0 (same as the atmospheric pressure)
 
Hope it helps then do give a thumbsup ! 👍
