Answer 1

The correct answer is **b. Boyle's law.****Explanation:**Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and the lung volume expands. This increase in volume leads to a decrease in pressure within the lungs, causing air to rush in from the higher-pressure atmosphere. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes, decreasing lung volume. This decrease in volume increases the pressure within the lungs, forcing air out.While temperature changes can subtly influence breathing, the primary mechanism is the pressure-volume relationship described by Boyle's law. Gay-Lussac's law relates pressure and temperature at a constant volume, and Charles's law relates volume and temperature at constant pressure. Neither of these laws directly explains the mechanics of breathing.
