B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: During spontaneous breathing, the respiratory muscles must overcome (1) the respiratory system's elastic recoil, (2) the pressure developed in the system to overcome airway resistance, and (3) the inertia of the respiratory system.
