The figure shows a diagrammatic view of human respiratory system with labels A, B, C and D. Select the option, which gives correct identification and main function and/or characteristic.
  

1. A-trachea-long tube supported by complete cartilaginous rings for conducting inspired air
2. B-pleural membrane-surrounds ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing
3. C-alveoli-thin walled vascular bag-like structures for exchange of gases
4. D-lower end of lungs-diaphragm pulls it down during inspiration

When a man inhales air containing normal concentration of O2 as well as CO he suffers from suffocation because
1. CO reacts with O2, reducing its percentage in air
2. haemoglobin combines with CO instead of O2 and forms carboxyhaemoglobin
3. CO affects diaphragm and intercostal muscles
4. CO affects the nerves of the lungs
