the action of eating
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation). This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -As stated above, breathing is the biological process of inhaling and exhaling gases between the cells and the environment. The mechanism of breathing involves various respiratory structures such as the windpipe, lungs and nose. Respiration, on the other hand, is a chemical process that takes place in the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Breathing and respiration are two completely different but interrelated body processes that assist body organs to function properly. Breathing is the physical process of exchanging gases whilst respiration is a chemical process that takes place at a cellular level and produces energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is breathing? The process of taking in oxygen-rich air present in the surroundings and giving out the air that lacks oxygen into the surroundings with the help of respiratory organs is known as breathing. It is a process that occurs continuously in the living organisms as one cannot survive without breathing.

Detailed explanation-5: -Respiration is the process that all living things go through to create the energy they need to live. This happens in the cells so it is also called cellular respiration. It usually involves exchanging two gases-oxygen and carbon dioxide. The cells take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
