Solution

The correct option is B Sleeping.
The respiratory rate or breathing frequency is the rate at which the number of inhalation and exhalation cycles are taken within a set time. The typical respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12–20 breaths per minute. However, the average resting respiratory rates differ with age. Food stimulates the nervous system which further tends to increase respiration rate.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
