- (A) Nitrogen and Oxygen
- (B) Oxygen and Helium
- (C) Neon and Nitrogen
- (D) Helium and Carbon dioxide
The correct answer is (B) Oxygen and Helium. Divers use a helium–oxygen mixture (heliox) because helium is non-narcotic at high pressures, unlike nitrogen, which can cause nitrogen narcosis during deep dives.
