This causes the ribs to move. 3. **Determine the Direction of Rib Movement:** - The ribs move downward and inward during exhalation. This action helps to push air out of the lungs. 4. **Evaluate the Options Provided:** - Option A: Downward and inward (correct) - Option B: Upward and inward (incorrect) - Option C: Down and outward (incorrect) - Option D: Up and outward (incorrect) 5. **Conclude the Correct Answer:** - The correct answer is option A: Downward and inward.
