Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood stream and body tissues
A
Internal Respiration
B
External Respiration
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -During internal respiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the cells and blood vessels. Respiration begins at the nose or mouth, where oxygenated air is brought in before moving down the pharynx, larynx, and the trachea. The trachea branches into two bronchi, each leading into a lung.
