C. inspiration involves muscular contractions and expiration is passive.

Explanation:

The process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange is called Breathing. Air travels down the back of your throat and into your windpipe, which is divided into air passages called bronchial tubes.

Breathing: (i) Inspiration and (ii) Expiration.

Quiet breathing - The mode of breathing is the relaxed, normal breathing state that requires no control of any type. And it does not require the cognitive thought of the individual.
