Which statement is the most accurate definition of external respiration?

A) Bulk flow (convection) of air or water to and from the gas-exchange membrane.
B) The process by which O₂ is transported to the gas-exchange membrane from the environmental medium and by which CO₂ is transported away from the membrane into the environmental medium.
C) The process by which CO₂ is transported to the gas-exchange membrane from the environmental medium and O₂ is transported away from the membrane into the environmental medium.
D) Diffusion of O₂ and CO₂ across the gas exchange membrane.
