Solution
The correct option is B A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4 During exhalation, diaphragm relaxes and moves upward becoming dome shaped. Intercostal muscles present between the ribs relaxes and space in the thoracic cavity decreases. Due to reduced space, air pressure in the thoracic cavity increases and air is forced out.
