The figure shows a diagrammatic view of human respiratory system with labels A, B, C and D. Select the option, which gives correct identification and main function and/or characteristic.
| 1. | A-trachea-long tube supported by complete cartilaginous rings for conducting inspired air |
| 2. | B-pleural membrane-surrounds ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing |
| 3. | C-alveoli-thin walled vascular bag-like structures for exchange of gases |
| 4. | D-lower end of lungs-diaphragm pulls it down during inspiration |

When a man inhales air containing normal concentration of O2 as well as CO he suffers from suffocation because
1. CO reacts with , reducing its percentage in air
2. haemoglobin combines with CO instead of and forms carboxyhaemoglobin
3. CO affects diaphragm and intercostal muscles
4. CO affects the nerves of the lungs
