best_answer

The respiratory center of the brain is primarily stimulated by an excess of \mathrm{CO_{2}} leading to increased signals for inhalation and exhalation to the respiratory muscles. Oxygen \mathrm{(O_{2})} does not have a substantial direct impact on the respiratory center of the brain in regulating respiration. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
