Solution

The correct option is B
Cilia help in cleaning the air

Cilia inside the trachea help in the removal of any dust particle of microbial contamination that gets trapped in the mucus coating secreted by the epithelial cells. It pushes the mucus outside, which is then coughed out by the individual as phlegm.
