The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) takes place between the air and the blood. The bronchi are larger airways leading to the alveoli, the larynx is the voice box, and the trachea is the windpipe. While gases f low through the bronchi and trachea, the actual gas exchange with the blood occurs in the alveoli.
