C

Feedback
A Estrogen levels increase, causing the upper respiratory tract to become more vascular; this produces swelling and congestion in the nose and ears and there-fore voice changes and impaired hearing.
B The diaphragm is displaced. However, the key is that estrogen levels increase, causing the upper respiratory tract to become more vascular; this produces swel-ling and congestion in the nose and ears and therefore voice changes and im-paired hearing.
C Estrogen levels increase, causing the upper respiratory tract to become more vascular; this produces swelling and congestion in the nose and ears and there-fore voice changes and impaired hearing.
D The volume of blood is increased. However, the key is that estrogen levels in-crease, causing the upper respiratory tract to become more vascular; this pro-duces swelling and congestion in the nose and ears and therefore voice changes and impaired hearing.
