Answer:

The correct answer would be alveoli.

Alveoli (singular alveolus) are the functional unit of the respiratory system.

They are sac like structures present at the end of respiratory tree (in lungs).

They are arranged in the form of clusters such as found in cluster of grapes.

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place at alveolar level.

These are one celled thick which helps in easy diffusion of oxygen (from inhaled air into the blood stream) and carbon dioxide (from blood stream to exhaled air).

In addition, they are highly supplied with blood capillaries which bring the carbon dioxide from the cells and take oxygen to them.

The main function of the respiratory system is to allow the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the lungs.
Hence,the only structure that carries out this function is the alveoli as other structures such as the nose,trachea and pharynx transport gases to the alveoli just so that it can can out its function.
