Ventilation rate refers to the amount of air that is breathed in and out per minute. When the body needs to eliminate more carbon dioxide, it increases the ventilation rate to increase the amount of CO2 that is exhaled.

An increase in ventilation rate results in more CO2 being removed from the lungs, which in turn drives the equilibrium of the bicarbonate buffer system towards the production of more CO2. As a result, the concentration of CO2 in the blood increases, which increases the amount of CO2 that can be transported by the blood.

Option 1 is the correct answer.
