1. provides a medium for the exchange of respiratory gases
2. reduces friction between the visceral and parietal pleurae
3. provides lubrication for movements of the diaphragm
4. permits the exchange of electrolytes during respiration

The given figure shows the diagrammatic view of human respiratory system (sectional view of the left lung is also shown). Regarding the parts labelled as P, Q, R and S, which of the following statements are true?
 
I: P is an incomplete cartilaginous ring seen only in trachea and principal bronchus.
II: Q is the point where the trachea divides into a right and left primary bronchus and corresponds to the level of 5th thoracic vertebra.
III: R shows the double-layered pleura where the outer pleural membrane is in close contact with the thoracic lining.
IV: S is pleural cavity with minimal amount of pleural fluid which reduces friction on the lung surface.
 
1. Only I, II and III 2. Only I, III and IV
3. Only II, III and IV 4. I, II, III and IV
