Answer : c
Hints & Solution
(c) (a) and (c). Neural signals from pneumotaxic center in pons region of brain can limit the duration of inspiration. About 25% of carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ is carried by haemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin. The pons contains nuclei that relay signals from the forebrain to the cerebellum, along with nuclei that deal primarily with sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions, facial sensation, and posture.
