Breathing and cellular respiration are two separate processes but are interdependent. Breathing provides oxygen to the cells, which is required for cellular respiration to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. On the other hand, cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide, which needs to be removed by breathing to prevent an imbalance in the pH of the blood. Hence, both processes are necessary for each other to function properly.

Option 1 is the correct answer.
