Which of the following conditions is most commonly associated with Kussmaul respirations?

Rationale: A. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is most commonly associated with Kussmaul respirations, which are deep, rapid breaths the body uses to eliminate CO₂ and compensate for metabolic acidosis. B. Asthma causes wheezing, dyspnea, and prolonged expiration due to airway narrowing but not Kussmaul respirations. C. Pneumonia leads to cough, fever, and shortness of breath, but respirations are not typically Kussmaul in nature. D. COPD causes chronic hypoventilation, barrel chest, and pursed-lip breathing but not Kussmaul respirations.
