swwe: hey need reason
swwe: Pls explain
keeratjotkaur: The Hering–Breuer inflation reflex, named for Josef Breuer and Ewald Hering,[1][2][3] is a reflex triggered to prevent over-inflation of the lung. Pulmonary stretch receptors present in the smooth muscle of the airways respond to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations.

the answer is

2. Hering-Breuer reflex

Receptors located in the lung and/or pleural tissues and stimulated by the pulmonary stretch associated with lung inflation terminate inspiration in a reflex that prevents overinflation of the lung.

Such reflexes are present in amphibians as well as mammals.
