A
pump blood into the lungs
B
pump carbon dioxide out of the lungs and pull oxygen into the lungs
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your diaphragm tightens and flattens, allowing you to suck air into your lungs. To breathe out (exhale), your diaphragm and rib cage muscles relax. This naturally lets the air out of your lungs. To get the oxygen your body needs, you inhale air through your mouth and nose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood rich in carbon dioxide travels to the heart, which pumps it to the lungs. Carbon dioxide goes from the capillaries around the alveoli into the alveoli. Then carbon dioxide goes up the bronchioles to the bronchi, and then to the trachea to be exhaled.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your lungs are the pair of spongy, pinkish-gray organs in your chest. When you inhale (breathe in), air enters your lungs, and oxygen from that air moves to your blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste gas, moves from your blood to the lungs and is exhaled (breathed out).
