Solution
The correct option is A Increase
The increase in carbon dioxide concentration in blood increases the rate of breathing.
The increase in carbon dioxide brings a remarkable change in the pH of the blood. This change is sensed by the chemoreceptors of the medulla oblongata of the hindbrain which has a regulatory centre for respiration.
The respiratory centre increases the rate of respiration to exhale the extra carbon dioxide and inhale more oxygen.
