The correct answer is B, internal intercostal muscles and abdominal muscles would contract.
Exhalation is the flow of the breath out of the body. During forced exhalation, internal intercostal muscles contracts which lower the rib cage and decrease thoracic volume, while the abdominal muscles push up on the diaphragm which causes the thoracic cavity to contract.

Yes, it is possible.

In this case both of the parental plants were heterozygotes and they manifested dominant allele in their phenotype, which is round seed.

P: Aa x Aa

F5: AA, Aa, aA, aa - possible genotypes in fifth generations.

A- dominant allele (round seeds); a- recessive allele (wrinkled seeds)

Wrinkled phenotype is manifested only if there are two recessive alleles present.

8090 [49]
Reproductive isolating mechanisms are barriers which impeded mating (prezygotic) or prevent the hybrid from developing properly (postzygotic) but the overall effect is to cause speciation by making it difficult for two diverging species to share genes. So one kind of mechanical isolation could be the usage of contraceptives. As of temporal isolation, or behavioral isolation could be exemplified by people who suffer from diseases that cause separation (such as HIV or cancer). I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
