The correct answer is option d)"II and III".

Explanation:

The circadian rhythm is a cycle that involves multiple that involve physical, mental, and behavioral changes occurring during a day time period of time. Therefore, only changes occurring in a 24 hours span are considered part of the circadian rhythm. Two examples are the body temperature following a regular pattern of increases and decreases each day, and the body secreting the hormone melatonin at night. A healthy person experiences a change in its body temperature of about 0.5 °C each day, with the lower temperature occurring in the morning and the higher temperature occurring at night. Regarding the hormone melatonin, the body secretes this hormone during night and helps people to relax and sleep.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
