Solution

The correct answer is oxygen. Oxygen diffuses from the air in the alveoli into the blood. This is a part of the gas exchange process in the respiratory system. While carbon dioxide also diffuses, it moves in the opposite direction - from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. Water and nitrogen do not significantly diffuse into the blood in the alveoli.
