Answer:

B. Osmosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged occur between the alveoli and the capillaries because the oxygen enters the body and the carbondioxide gas leaves the cell through a semi-permeable membrane and we know that Osmosis is a process in which smaller molecules moves from higher concentration to lower concentration through semi-permeable membrane of the cell.
