Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The normal value range of pH is 7,35-7,45.

If the pH es <u>higher than 7,45</u> we say it is alkalosis and if the pH es <u>lower than 7,35</u> we say it is acidosis. That being said, we can now rule out option B and C.  

Then we have to define <u>respiratory acidosis:</u> it is a decrease of pH because of a high value of PaCO2 (in this case as a result of hypoventilation). The normal range of PaCO2 is 35-45 mmHg.  

So if we take all this in consideration, the only option with a low pH and a high paCO2 is option D.
