Solution

The correct option is C Complete filling of lungs
Solution- Complete filling of lungs

Pneumotaxic centre is present in the pons and controls the switch point of inspiration. When sending a weak signal, inspiration lasts for 5s causing complete filling of the lungs. When sending a strong signal, the rate of breathing increases, which means the duration of inspiration and expiration decreases and complete filling of lungs is not possible.
