Solution

The correct option is A small blood vessels in the lungs
Within each lung, gaseous exchange occurs in the alveoli. The alveoli are richly supplied with blood capillaries. Oxygen from the alveoli diffuse into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide from the blood enter the alveoli, to be eliminated by exhalation.
