C

D
The lungs function in removing the harmful CO2 from the body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Other waste products include carbon dioxide, salts, and water. Carbon dioxide is eliminated from the body with the help of the lungs. Lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system. Since they help in the elimination of carbon dioxide, they also form a part of the excretory system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of the lungs is the process of gas exchange called respiration (or breathing). In respiration, oxygen from incoming air enters the blood, and carbon dioxide, a waste gas from the metabolism, leaves the blood. A reduced lung function means that the ability of lungs to exchange gases is reduced.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lungs, which is a respiratory organ, is involved in the exchange of gases in our bodies. It inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide, which is a waste product; thus, it is also considered an excretory organ.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lungs help in the removal of carbon dioxide by exhalation. Nitrogenous wastes and salts are removed by the excretory system. Some amount of salt is excreted by sweat too. Q.

Detailed explanation-5: -Our lungs remove the oxygen and pass it through our bloodstream, where it’s carried off to the tissues and organs that allow us to walk, talk, and move. Our lungs also take carbon dioxide from our blood and release it into the air when we breathe out.
