Solution

The correct statement regarding exhalation is: "there is a decrease in lung volume and the diaphragm moves upward."

During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, which decreases the volume of the thoracic cavity. This decrease in volume leads to an increase in pressure, forcing air out of the lungs. Therefore, the lung volume decreases during exhalation.
