The correct answer is C) alveolus, bronchiole, bronchus, trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavity.

Exhale (breathe out) is the reverse process of inhaling (breathe in). Thus, the air goes through the bronchioles, out the bronchi, out the trachea, larynx, pharynx and finally out through your mouth and nose. Exhaled air contains wastes and carbon dioxide and it's warm.
