Correct answer
Explanation
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity (containing lungs and heart) from the abdominal cavity (containing stomach and other digestive organs). It plays a crucial role in breathing by contracting and relaxing. The pleura covers the lungs, pericardium covers the heart, and oesophagus is a tube passing through both cavities.
