Figure: Figure:   Using the figure shown here as a guide, answer the following questions about the situation described. Jane dives into a swimming pool to retrieve a diving ring from the bottom, holding her breath the whole time she is underwater. This act causes an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in her blood. As she surfaces, chemoreceptors in certain major arteries detect the change from normal. These receptors cause impulses to be sent to the medulla oblongata. The medulla oblongata sends impulses to the diaphragm and muscles between the ribs causing more frequent and more forceful inhalations and exhalations. This in turn causes a decrease in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. -The stimulus in this scenario is A)  the increase in carbon dioxide concentration in Jane's blood while she is holding her breath. B)  the impulses sent to the medulla oblongata. C)  the more frequent inhalations and exhalations. D)  the decrease in carbon dioxide concentration as she breathes more forcefully.
