Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Human lungs are efficient respiratory surfaces because of the thin and large surface for easy diffusion, moist air sacs with mucus for dissolving the gases. In addition, the air sacs are surrounded by a network of blood capillaries with a good supply of blood so that more exchange of gases can happen.
