Solution

The correct option is C
Lungs

The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax) that is located in the thoracic cavity. The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles).
