Solution
The correct option is A In lungs.
During gas exchange Oxygen moves from the lungs to the bloodstream. At the same time, carbon dioxide passes from the blood to the lungs.
This happens in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which are associated with the walls of the alveoli.
