Solution

The correct option is A trachea
  • The Respiratory system starts from the nose that has two tiny openings called nostrils.
  • The inhaled air enters into the nasal cavity through the nostrils.
  • From the nasal cavity, air passes through the pharynx which is the common opening for both food and air.
  • After that air travels through the trachea and finally enters into the lungs which is an important respiratory organ.
