Answer 1

After running a mile, if you take a rest, your breathing rate typically **decreases**. Initially, your breathing rate increases during the run to supply more oxygen to your muscles, but once you stop running and begin to rest, your body's oxygen demand decreases, leading to a reduced breathing rate.

So the correct response is **decreases**.
