    D) (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Carbon dioxide is present in a higher percentage in exhaled air (4.4%) than in inhaled air (0.03%). This is because \[C{{O}_{2}}\], is formed during oxidation of food in the cells. This \[C{{O}_{2}}\], is then sent out of the body in the exhaled air. The exhaled air is saturated with water vapours.
