Spirometry is a technique used to measure lung volumes and capacities, but it is not capable of directly measuring the residual volume (RV). The residual volume is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after maximal exhalation, and it cannot be measured accurately using spirometry alone. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
