==Answer==
Answer d. 

Capnography may not be available during laryngoscopy and rigid
bronchoscopy owing to the equipment used and the fact that patients are often
not (or intermittently) intubated. Thus it is imperative to visually inspect for
chest rise and auscultate for breath sounds in order to ensure that ventilation is
adequate.
