Solution

The correct option is A

Both statement I and statement II are true


We inhale air when we breathe through our nostrils. Fine hair and mucus are present inside the nose to prevent dust particles from getting into the respiratory system. But when we breathe through the mouth, there is no filtration system to filter out dust particles. So it is not recommended.
