Solution

The correct option is A 1
The intrapleural pressure helps in the expiration and inspiration of the gases during breathing. The pressure inside the lungs determined whether the air is inspired or expelled out. The pressure in between breathes is around 1 mmHg less than the atmospheric pressure know which is normal.
