Solution

The correct option is B Nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
Air enters the body through the nose or mouth, which are connected through the nasal and oral cavities to the pharynx, through which air passes to the trachea, larynx and food to the esophagus. Air passes through the larynx (the voice box), and then to the trachea (windpipe). The main bronchial passageways (bronchi) subdivide in the lungs into smaller and smaller airways, and finally to the individual air sacs called alveoli, where oxygen enters the bloodstream.
So, the correct answer is 'Nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli'
