a. blood helps the brain interpret different smells.
b. blood helps the lungs to inflate and deflate to breathe.
c. blood transports oxygen from the lungs to other organs.

Explanation:

The respiratory system takes in oxygen and expels carbon - dioxide. The cardiovascular system's blood picks up oxygen from the lungs and transports it to other organs and tissues in the body. Option A is about the olfactory system, option B is incorrect as the mechanics of lung inflation and deflation are due to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, and option D is about the digestive - circulatory system interaction.

Answer:
