Research in the area of neurobiology confirms that meditative practice is responsible for considerably reducing respiratory frequency for advanced practitioners, who, after initiating meditation, have their respiratory frequencies reduced until they stabilize at a lower level. The graph presents the relationship of respiratory frequency, in breaths per minute (rpm), in relation to time, in minutes, of an advanced practitioner, in which $(\mathrm{f}_1)$ represents the frequency at instant $\mathrm{t}_1$, when meditative practice begins; and $(\mathrm{f}_2)$, the frequency at instant $t_2$, from which it stabilizes during meditation.
From the instant $\mathrm{t}_1$, when the meditative practice begins, the behavior of respiratory frequency, in relation to time,
(A) remains constant.
(B) is directly proportional to time.
(C) is inversely proportional to time.
(D) decreases until the instant $\mathrm{t}_2$, after which it becomes constant.
(E) decreases proportionally to time, both between $\mathrm{t}_1$ and $\mathrm{t}_2$ and after $t_2$.
