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

Detailed explanation-1: -Nose breathing is more beneficial than mouth breathing. Breathing through your nose can help filter out dust and allergens, boost your oxygen uptake, and humidify the air you breathe in. Mouth breathing, on the other hand, can dry out your mouth. This may increase your risk of bad breath and gum inflammation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mouth breathing is sometimes a necessary function, particularly when a respiratory infection closes the nasal passages with drainage However, consistent or chronic mouth breathing, especially in children, is linked to slower growth, behavioral issues, dental and facial abnormalities.

Detailed explanation-3: -We inhale air when we breathe through our nostrils. Fine hair and mucus are present inside the nose to prevent dust particles from getting into the respiratory system. But when we breathe through mouth, there is no filtration system to filter out dust particles. So it is not recommended.
