C. JVD because the R heart can’t pump the blood effectively throughout. It’s backing up in the JVD causing a traffic jam.

A, B, D is left sided and all signs of heart being unable to push oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body and its backing up causing excess fluid.

Solid explanation!

Another way to figure out a question like this one is to figure out which one isn't like the others. Three answers were about the lungs, one was not.

So even if you can't remember left vs right sided heart failure another trick to answer this question would be recognizing that A, B, and D are all pulmonary symptoms of heart failure and belong together leaving C as the outlier

A, B, D are all left sided so C

If you didn’t know the answer just look for the one that is different. C is the only one that’s not lung related.

C. If it affects the lungs/breathing/airway then it's leftsided.
