Solution

The correct option is B Alveoli of lungs
The exchange of gases, oxygen for carbon dioxide, takes place between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries. This is known as the pulmonary exchange, and is part of the overall process of respiration, or breathing as we usually call it.So these capillaries are woven into the tissue of the alveoli, and the exchange takes place in the connective tissue between them.
