    Correct Answer

    Explanation

    The two directions of the breath: 

    • Excel and inhale

    • Inhale and exhale

    Correct Answer
    A. Inhale and exhale
    Explanation
    The correct answer is inhale and exhale. When we breathe, we inhale to take in oxygen and exhale to release carbon dioxide. Inhaling involves the diaphragm contracting and the chest expanding, allowing air to enter the lungs. Exhaling involves the diaphragm relaxing and the chest contracting, pushing air out of the lungs. These two directions of breath are essential for the exchange of gases in our bodies, providing oxygen to our cells and removing waste products.
