Solution

The correct option is C high temperature of the body
Higher body temperature increases the metabolic rate, due to an increase in the kinetic energy of the various molecules involved in the biochemical reactions of the body. As a result, in the case of a fever, there is an increased oxygen requirement by the cells, causing faster breathing.
