D

E

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (tiny branches of air tubes in the lungs). The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a process called diffusion, oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood through the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) lining the alveolar walls. Once in the bloodstream, oxygen gets picked up by the hemoglobin in red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lungs are divided into sacs to increase the surface area and to easily transport oxygen to the blood vessels which surrounds the air sacs and also air sacs have a thin film of oxygen which helps to absorb oxygen quickly.
