A
Breathing
B
Inhalation
C
Exhalation
D
Respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation). This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Breathing is the intake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide. The whole process of breathing combined with the burning down of assimilated food chemically to give energy is known as respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -During gas exchange oxygen moves from the lungs to the bloodstream. At the same time carbon dioxide passes from the blood to the lungs. This happens in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which are located in the walls of the alveoli.
