QUESTION - 07

Assertion: The movement of air into and out of the lungs is carried out by creating a
pressure gradient between the lungs and the atmosphere.
Reason: The diaphragm and a specialised set of muscles-external and internal
intercostals between the ribs, help in generation of such gradients.

A Assertion and reason both are true and the reason is correct explanation of assertion.

B Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.

C Assertion is true but reason is wrong.
