Answer

(c) Percentage of carbon dioxide is more in the exhaled air.

Explanation:

The diagram shows a person blowing air (exhaling) into lime water. Lime water is a test for carbon dioxide. When CO₂ is bubbled through lime water, it reacts to form calcium carbonate, which turns the lime water milky.

This experiment is a classic demonstration used to show that exhaled air contains more CO₂ than inhaled air, as the lime water only turns milky after the person breathes into it, not before.

So, it helps to conclude that exhaled air has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide.
