One of the side effects of smoking is the damage of cilia in the trachea which allows particles to entre the lungs. Smoking destroys the cilia which are key in keeping particles from getting down into your lungs so every time a person smokes more and more cilia are destroyed.

Correct answer: A). Smoking damages cilia in the trachea and more particles enter the lungs

Tar is a particulate matter that is generated by the burning of tobacco, in a form of cigarette smoke. It contains a variety of inorganic and organic chemicals like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and volatile compounds.

Smoking is known to destroy the cilia, fine hair that is known to be found in the upper airways that help to protect against the infection. If cilia are damaged then tar can more easily penetrate into the lungs can cause more damage and may cause cancer.

Hence, the correct answer would be option A.

Since they are light weight and have small size they can be dispersed easily so helps in diversification of the plant in the area . These advantages are not well suited for sperms. Moreover, in mosses, the sperm requires water for the movement to meet the ova cells to make zygote.
