Answer:

C. is a passive process caused by increased intrathoracic pressure.

Explanation:

Inhalation is an active process as it includes the contraction of muscles and diaphragm. Exhalation is a passive stage of breathing. It does not include any muscular contraction. Rather, diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles become relaxed. This reduces the volume of the thoracic cavity and lungs. The reduced volume causes increased air pressure in alveoli as compared to the atmospheric pressure. The increased pulmonary pressure drives the movement of air towards the outside of the body.

Ten biotic and five abiotic factor in an ecosystem
Artyom0805 [142]
Biotic:
Animals: animals are consider biotic because they are living things, they breath, walk, eat, sleep, reproduce, and drink water. and since biotic means living things, the animals are under the biotic category. 

Plants: same as animals, but with plants they reproduce asexually meaning it requires only one organism to produce another life. Anything with cells in them are consider a living thing.

bacteria: same as plants and animals, they have cells so they are consider a living thing.

There are other types of biotic factors out there like producers, consumers and decomposes. Here are the ten things of biotic:
1. Bamboo plants (producers)
 2. Banana Trees (producers)
 3. orchids (producers)
4. Seaweeds (producers)
5. anteater (consumers)
6. Bears (consumers)
7.zooplankton (consumers)
8.bacteria (decomposers)
9. earthworms (decomposers)
10. termites (decomposers) 

Those are the ten examples of biotic.

Abiotic:
Some of the examples include temperature, sunlight, soil, gases and atmospheric, these are consider the non-living things but here are 5 examples of abiotic factors in the ecosystem.
1. Altitude
2.pollution
3.soil
4.wind
5. Ph

Hope this helped :)
