A
The lungs are not included in the excretory system. You must be crazy to think otherwise.
B
The lungs adapt to different systems
C
The lungs only absorb oxygen from the environment through their alveoli
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 lungs in the respiratory system excrete some waste products, such as carbon dioxide and water. The skin is another excretory organ that rids the body of wastes through the sweat glands. The liver and intestines excrete bile pigments that result from the destruction of hemoglobin.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Your lungs bring fresh oxygen into your body. They remove the carbon dioxide and other waste gases that your body’s doesn’t need.
