The answer is B. They bring oxygen from the air into the body.
The lungs don’t produce or release oxygen so it’s not A. or D. The lungs do not transform oxygen into carbon dioxide cause our bodies need oxygen not carbon dioxide so it’s not C. Hope this helps!

Answer:
B) increased exchange surface provided by their membranes
Explanation:
Alveoli are tiny air sacs that are responsible for exchanging oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the lungs. Alveoli have elastic fibers in order to expand and recoil depending on the volume of air breathed in. The alveolar epithelial cells (pneumocytes) may adopt a shape that serves to increase the surface area of gas exchange. On the other hand, intestinal epithelial cells have microvilli, which are microscopic projections in the plasma membrane. Microvilli serve to increase the cell's surface area, thereby facilitating the absorption of nutrients and water.
The characteristic it shows is Growth
That would be integumentary system
