Ventilators are systematically provided near the roof or top of a room because:

  1. A
    to bring oxygen for breathing.
  2. B
    so that sunlight may enter the room.
  3. C
    to maintain convectional currents to keep the air fresh in the room.
  4. D
    to provide an outlet for carbon dioxide.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Air that is exhaled or warmed up by human presence inside a room becomes less dense and rises upward. Providing ventilators near the ceiling allows this warm, stale air to escape, while cooler, fresher, and denser outside air flows in through low-level windows and doors, maintaining steady convection currents.
