Show me the Answer

Correct answer is:

(D) Both a and b

Explanation:

Oxygen levels that are too low (less than 19.5 percent) can cause an initial loss of awareness and lead to suffocation and death. Oxygen levels that are too high (greater than 22 percent) can cause a fire hazard by allowing a fire to burn at a rate that is faster than normal.
