I think it's A) Cardiac. Age and symptoms matter.

I think soreness is a possibility too, but the fact that it’s aggravated by breathing makes me lean towards something more serious.

I’m a bit uncertain, but I feel like respiratory issues usually present differently. Could it really be that?

This sounds similar to a practice question we did about muscle strain. I think it could be muscular since he just worked out.

I remember studying that chest pain can often be cardiac-related, especially in older adults, but I'm not sure if the dull ache after a workout fits that.
