Answer:

3.the internal intercostalas

Step-by-step explanation:

the intercostals muscles assist the diaphragm during inhalation to increase thoracic volume for this we have to know about intercostals muscles the intercostals muscles relax returning the chest wall to its original position due to this the pressure inside the thoracic cavity is increases to a large extent which is very high compared to the normal pressure
