Answer 1

The options are

A) negative pressure breathing

B) forced air breathing

C) positive pressure breathing

D) terrestrial breathing

E) none of the above

The answer is C) positive pressure breathing

Step-by-step explanation:

Mammals such as humans and goats possess diaphragms . The muscles of the diaphragm create a type of pressure which helps in pulling air into the lungs. This process is called Negative pressure breathing.

Amphibians lack diaphragms so they lack pressure to draw air into the lungs , it is forced into the lungs instead in a process known as positive pressure breathing.
