A 58-year-old male visited his family doctor because of dyspnoea lasting for several weeks. The patient did not have any chronic conditions in the past.

Indicate dyspnoea grade according to modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale:
- A. 1.
- B. 2.
- C. 3.
- D. 4.
- E. 5.
Hint
mMRC grades run from 0 to 4; match 'has to stop when walking at own pace on level ground' to its grade.
