Solution

The correct option is A trachea

The inhaled air first enters the nostril and then goes into the nasal cavity.

The air then passes through the pharynx and reaches the lungs through the trachea which is a long pipe-like structure also known as windpipe.

The diaphragm is a dome-shaped structure that facilitates breathing.
