Step-by-step solution

The mechanism of breathing involves changes in the volume of the thoracic cavity: Contraction of the diaphragm increases the volume of the thoracic chamber in the antero-posterior axis. Hence, (A) matches with (III). Contraction of the external intercostal muscles lifts up the ribs and sternum, increasing the thoracic volume in the dorso-ventral axis. Hence, (B) matches with (I). Relaxation of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles returns the diaphragm and sternum to their normal positions, reducing thorac
