Correct Answer -B
End diastolic volume REF: Guyton's physiology 22nd edition page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_%28cardiology%29"For cardiac contraction, the preload is usually considered to be the
end-diastolic pressure when the ventricle has become filled"
Quantitatively, preload can be calculated as
LV
EDT.LV ÉDR
2h
Where LVEDP = Left ventricular end diastolic pressure, LVEDR =
Left ventricular end diastolic radius (at the ventricle's midpoint), and
h = thickness of the ventricle. This calculation is based on the Law of
Laplace.
