Solution

The correct option is B Carbon dioxide
Inhalation/inspiration is the process by which air is taken in through the nose and is passed to the lungs. Oxygen from the inspired air goes into the blood. Blood carries the carbon dioxide from various parts of the body towards the lungs and is released through exhalation/expiration.
