You could use process of elimination for this with great effectiveness - do any of the options seem either likely or unlikely to you?

blues · Answer

For example, you can rule out "enhance gas exchange" because gas exchange occurs when carbon dioxide in the blood diffuses down its concentration gradient into the lungs and oxygen from the air in the lungs diffuses down its concentration gradient into the blood. Nothing powered or controlled by the nervous system in that.
