Solution

The correct option is B External intercostal muscle contract and phrenic muscles would contract
Intercostal and abdominal muscle would contract if we blow up a balloon. When this occurs, you are interrupting the natural rhythm of breathing. The inhalation process is blowing up a balloon. As you this movement is facilitated by the contraction of the external intercostal muscles.
So the correct answer is' Internal intercostal and abdominal muscle would contract'.
