Solution
The correct option is B Alveoli
The lungs consist of an internal tree-like system of tubes, the ultimate branches of which terminate into pouch-like bodies called atria. The atria are surrounded by thin-walled elastic air sacs called alveoli which make up the greater part of lung tissue. The exchange of gases takes place only in the alveoli.
