Solution

The correct option is B
Oxygen

Breathing becomes faster if the oxygen content in the air decreases. As a general rule, the faster and deeper you breathe, the greater is the air exchange happening in your lungs. This means that there is an increase in the rate of oxygen uptake by blood and also of carbon dioxide wash-out.
