Solution
The correct option is D Inspiration
As the rib cage and sternum (breast bone) move upward and outward, the thoracic volume would increase and with this the pulmonary volume would also increase. This would create a negative pressure gradient in lungs, which would mean pressure in lungs less than the atmosphere. Thus, inspiration would happen. Hence, Option D is correct.
