Solution

The correct option is D Both B and C
Asphyxiation is a condition in which O $_{2}$ content of blood falls while the co $_{2}$ content rises and paralyzes the respiratory center. Asphyxiation can be observed in the vacuum or when the oxygen concentration is low in the atmosphere. If the oxygen concentration is high in atmosphere O $_{2}$ content of blood will not fall. Hence option D is the correct answer.
