Solution
The answer is the fourth one: trachea, lungs, diaphragm.
Explanation for each option:
Esophagus, lungs, diaphragm: The esophagus is part of the digestive system, not the respiratory system. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Trachea, lungs, intestines: The intestines are part of the digestive system, not the respiratory system. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Lungs, trachea, esophagus: While the lungs and trachea are part of the respiratory system, the esophagus is not. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Trachea, lungs, diaphragm: This option correctly identifies the trachea, lungs, and diaphragm as key components of the respiratory system. The trachea is the airway that connects the throat to the lungs, the lungs are the primary organs for gas exchange, and the diaphragm is a muscle that plays a crucial role in breathing by helping to expand and contract the lungs.
In summary, the correct answer is the fourth option: trachea, lungs, diaphragm.
