A
nose
B
trachea
C
bronchi
D
alveoli
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you inhale through your nose or mouth, air travels down your pharynx (back of your throat), passes through your larynx (voice box) and into your trachea (windpipe). Your trachea is divided into two air passages called bronchial tubes. One bronchial tube leads to your left lung, the other to your right lung.

Detailed explanation-2: -Air enters your body through your nose or mouth. Air then travels down the throat through the larynx and trachea. Air goes into the lungs through tubes called main-stem bronchi.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pathway of air: nasal cavities (or oral cavity) > pharynx > trachea > primary bronchi (right & left) > secondary bronchi > tertiary bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli (site of gas exchange)
