Answer: c

Explanation:

Just did it

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

Alveolar concentration is higher in the alveoli (100 mm Hg) than blood (40 mm Hg) in the capillaries. Because this pressure gradient exists, oxygen diffuses down its pressure gradient, moving out of the alveoli and entering the blood of the capillaries where O2 binds to hemoglobin.
