Lobar Bronchi
The airways in the lungs that branch off from the main bronchus for each lobe of the lungs, facilitating the flow of air in and out.
Terminal Bronchioles
The smallest airways in the lungs, leading to the alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Lobar bronchi branch into segmental bronchi which further divide into smaller bronchioles. Terminal bronchioles are the smallest bronchioles within the lungs and are found at the end of the conducting zone. Primary bronchi are the two main branches of the trachea that enter the lungs and divide into secondary bronchi.
