(D) The pulmonary alveoli are the primary sites of gaseous exchange in the lungs.To facilitate efficient diffusion of gases ($O_2$ and $CO_2$),the wall of the alveoli must be extremely thin.Squamous epithelium consists of a single layer of flattened cells with irregular boundaries.This tissue is commonly found in the walls of blood vessels and air sacs (alveoli) of lungs,where it forms a delicate lining for diffusion.
