Answer:

A. Inferior

Explanation:

If you're not familiar with anatomical terms, a quick summarization would be:

-Inferior: below

-Superior: above

-Medial: towards the midline of the body

Upon googling a picture for the diaphragm and lungs, you will see that the diaphragm is a muscle situated directly below the lungs. The phrase "located in relation to" is asking you specifically "when compared to". Therefore, since the diaphragm is located below the lungs, the answer would be inferior.

I hope this answer and explanation helped you understand this topic a little bit more!

The diaphragm is located in inferior to lungs.

What is diaphragm ?

In mammals, the diaphragm is a dome-shaped, muscular and membrane tissue that divides the thoracic and abdominal compartments.

It is the primary respiratory muscle.

The diaphragm gets contract and flatten up during we inhale, while the chest cavity expands.

Vacuum is created due to contraction, which pulls air into the lungs.

Exhalation relaxes the diaphragm and causes it to return to its domelike shape, pushing air out of the lungs.

So we can conclude that the diaphragm is the muscle that connects the chest cavity to the abdomen and it is the primary respiratory muscle, when one breathes in, the diaphragm muscle contracts, causing the lungs to expand and vice versa, and most importantly it located inferior to lungs.
