C

D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Blood with fresh oxygen is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, which pumps blood around your body through the arteries. Blood without oxygen returns through the veins, to the right side of your heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each air sac is surrounded by a network of fine blood vessels (capillaries). The oxygen in inhaled air passes across the thin lining of the air sacs and into the blood vessels. This is known as diffusion. The oxygen in the blood is then carried around the body in the bloodstream, reaching every cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -When we breathe in, the millions of air sacs in the lungs fill with fresh oxygenated air. The oxygen then moves into the blood by passing first through the very thin walls of the air sacs and then into the capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels in a network within the lungs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Once in the bloodstream, oxygen gets picked up by the hemoglobin in red blood cells. This oxygen-rich blood then flows back to the heart, which pumps it through the arteries to oxygen-hungry tissues throughout the body.
