Answer:

Option C,  Intrapleural pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure

Explanation:

During inspiration, the air enters the lungs due to lower pressure in the intrapulmonary or intra-alveolar  than the atmospheric pressure. During quite respiration, the intrapulmonary pressure reduces to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg lower than that of atmospheric pressure. During quiet expiration, the intrapulmonary pressure rises up to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg higher than that of atmospheric pressure. This leads to lack of air in the intrapleural space thereby producing intrapleural pressure which is lesser than that of intrapulmonary pressure.  

This difference in pressure (i.e higher pressure with in the lungs than the atmosphere)  causes lungs to remain attached to the chest wall and hence looks inflated.  

Hence, option C is correct

How does the four principles of natural selection work together to respond to a change in the environment ?
galben [10]
The four principles of natural selection are variation (organisms within a population have their own individual differences in their appearance, such as, markings and color), inheritance (traits passed down to the offspring), high rate of population growth (which leads to their local resources to be more of a challenge to find), and differential survival/ reproduction (organisms in the population with stronger traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, aka survival of the fittest). These four principles work together to respond to chance in the environment by making sure the strongest survive and over time that species will adapt to their environment because the organisms with the better suited traits will pass their traits to its offspring.

I hope that made sense, lol.
