Air is drawn into our body through the nostrils, then it goes into the nasal passage from there it enters the pharynx then to larynx to the trachea to finally alveoli where the final oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
So the correct passage is: Nostrils ⇒ pharynx ⇒ larynx ⇒ trachea ⇒ alveoli
Hence option (d) is correct.
