Solution

The correct option is B Alveoli
During inhalation, air is taken in by nose and is passed to the lungs.
Lungs contain specialised structures called alveoli, which are the sites for gaseous exchange and these alveoli are surrounded by capillaries.
Oxygen present in the alveoli diffuses into the capillaries and enters the blood stream.
