  • Since in the given condition, the diver is having frothy blood in his mouth and since he ascended rapidly calling for help he is most likely to be suffering from an air embolism.

ioda
The Earth turns on its axis every day; it orbits the sun, just like all the other planets in our Solar System. You can cross out D and A, obviously. Which leaves us with answers B and C.
