Solution
The correct option is B Alveoli
- During inhalation, the air is taken in by the nose and is passed to the lungs.
- Lungs contain specialised structures called alveoli, which are the sites for gaseous exchange and these alveoli are surrounded by the capillaries.
- Oxygen present in the alveoli diffuses into the capillaries and enters the blood stream.
