Solution

The functions of the nasal mucosa include:

  1. Moistens inhaled air
  2. Entraps small particles
  3. Warms inhaled air

So, the correct answers are the first three options. The nasal mucosa does not facilitate coughing and yawning reflexes, nor does it allow gas exchange between air and blood. That function is performed by the alveoli in the lungs.
