Solution

The correct option is A
$C O_{2}$ concentration in venous blood

The body's respiratory centre in the medulla is normally stimulated by an increased concentration of carbon dioxide, and to a lesser extent, by decreased levels of oxygen in arterial blood. Stimulation of the respiratory centre causes an increase in the rate and depth of breathing, thus blowing off excess carbon dioxide and reducing blood acidity.
