Solution

The correct option is B Pneumotaxic centre
The pneumotaxic center is located in the dorsal part of Pons Varolii. It is called the switch-off point of breathing since it is known to limit the duration of inspiration. This center influences the respiratory rhythm center by regulating the breathing rate.

So, the correct answer is 'Pneumotaxic centre'.
