The cardiac impression is a concave depression on the medial surface of the left lung where the heart indents into it. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The oblique fissure is a deep cleft that separates the lung into lobes, the hilum is a depression where the bronchi, vessels, and nerves enter the lung, the apex is the uppermost portion of the lung, and the base is the bottom, flattened part that rests on the diaphragm. None of these answers describe where the heart indents into the lung.
