Correct Answer: 4 %


Solution : The correct option is - 4%

The amount of air that is inhaled has 21% oxygen and 0.04% carbon dioxide, whereas the amount of air that is expelled has 16% oxygen and 4% carbon dioxide. This is so because when we breathe, our cells use the oxygen in the air to produce energy and generate carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
