    Tympanogram evaluates middle-ear pressure and mobility.

  • B. Electrocardiogram

    Electrocardiogram displays cardiac electrical activity.

  • C. Audiogram (correct)

    Correct: audiogram graphs frequency-specific hearing thresholds.

  • D. Spirogram

    Spirogram records respiratory volume changes.
