  1. Defaecation involves both voluntary and involuntary process

  2. Voluntary contractions of abdominal muscles and diaphragm aid in defaecation

  3. Decrease in intra abdominal pressure aids in the process of defaecation

  4. Distention of rectal wall induces defaecation reflex


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Defaecation is the process in which removal of fecal matter outside the body. It involves:-

1)Both voluntary and involuntary process the signal provided can be controlled by the person.
2)Voluntary contractions of abdominal muscles and diaphragm aid in defaecation.
3)Increase in intra abdominal pressure aids in the process of defaecation.
4)Distention of rectal wall induces defaecation reflex.
So the correct option is 'Decrease in intra abdominal pressure aids in the process of defaecation'.
