• none of these
• decreases
• increases

Answer 1

After running a mile and then taking a rest, your breathing rate typically **decreases**. This is because physical activity increases your breathing rate to supply more oxygen to your muscles, but once you stop running and rest, your body requires less oxygen, and your breathing rate gradually returns to normal. So the correct answer would be **decreases**.
