Solution

The correct option is B Alveoli
Nostrils are the two external openings of the nasal cavity that allows air to enter the respiratory tract.
Trachea, also called the windpipe, is a cartilaginous tube that starts from the larynx and further divides into two air passages known as the bronchi. The air travels through the bronchi and enters the lungs.
The bronchi branches into bronchioles which open into tiny air sacs known as alveoli.
The alveoli are richly supplied with blood capillaries. Alveoli and capillaries both have very thin walls, which allow the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide to take place.
