Answer:

The Diaphragm

Explanation:

"As the diaphragm contracts, it increases the length and diameter of the chest cavity and thus expands the lungs. The intercostal muscles help move the rib cage and thus assist in breathing." - https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/lung-and-airway-disorders/biology-of-the-lungs-and-airways/control-of-breathing

Interoceptors are found in the internal organs and typically affect the smooth muscles of these organs. Proprioceptors are found in muscles, joints and tendons.

Which statement best describes temperature variations?
liraira [26]

The correct option is this: VARIATIONS ARE GREATER OVER LAND THAN OVER WATER.

Temperature variation over water is very small compared to temperature variation over land. This is because, water has high specific heat capacity, which enables it to resist temperature changes when it absorb heat or when it releases heat. A large amount of heat has to be lost or gained before water will show a one degree Celsius temperature change.

I believe it is either B or A, personally i'm leaning towards B, but at the same time, i don't think that we would be obtaining materials via pollination, so it then causes A to make more sense.
