Solution

The correct option is C Lungs
The lungs are responsible for the oxygenation (purification) of blood. In the lungs, alveoli are thin-walled structures and surrounded by numerous capillaries. At this site, the CO $_{2}$ from the blood is taken up by the alveoli and O $_{2}$ is replenished in the blood.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
