Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The part of the respiratory system starting with the external nostrils upto terminal bronchioles constitutes the conducting part, whereas the alveoli from respiratory part.
Reason (R): Conducting part transports the atmospheric air to alveoli, clears it from foreign particles, humidifies it and also brings the air to body temperature.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

Regarding the chemical regulation of respiration in humans:
I: A chemosensitive area is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to CO2 and hydrogen ions.
II: Receptors associated with aortic arch and carotid artery can recognise changes in O2 concentration and send necessary signals to the rhythm centre for remedial actions.
III: The role of oxygen in the regulation of respiratory rhythm is most significant.
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only II and III are incorrect
3. I, II and III are incorrect
4. Only I and III are correct
