B. negative pressure generated in the chest, causing the lungs to expand to fill
the vacuum.

Correct answer: B). Negative pressure generated in the chest, causing the lungs to expand to fill the vacuum

The process of inhalation occurred due to the increased volume of the lung in which there is the contraction of diaphragm and expansion of the chest wall. It creates a negative pressure, which results in a decreased pressure in comparison to the atmosphere. Thus air goes into the lung.  

Hence, the correct answer would be option B.
