Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: The respiratory system supplies oxygen to the blood, which the circulatory system then delivers to the muscles driving the swing.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: Oxygen must be carried by the circulatory system to reach the muscles.
  • C is incorrect: Timing signals come from the nervous system.
  • D is incorrect: The diaphragm contracts, not relaxes, during inhalation.
