Answer»

Correct answer is (d) The volume of the body fluid in which the drug is getting dissolved

To EXPLAIN I WOULD say: Concentration of drug in plasma C is DIRECTLY proportional to the amount of drug in body X. The proportionality constant Vd has the unit of volume and is also CALLED the apparent volume of distribution. It is the volume of the body fluid into which a drug is dissolved.
