The correct answer is option 1 which is Intrapulmonary pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure. Inspiration is the process of drawing air into the lungs, which occurs when the intrapulmonary pressure (pressure inside the lungs) becomes lower than the atmospheric pressure. This pressure difference creates a negative pressure gradient, allowing air to flow into the lungs. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
