Which structure of the respiratory system connects the pharynx to the trachea?

Answer
A
the alveoli
B
the bronchi
C
the larynx
D
the glottis

The larynx lies between the pharynx and the trachea, so air passes through it on its way to the lungs. The alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs, the bronchi branch from the trachea, and the glottis is an opening within the larynx. The correct choice is the larynx.
