A Correct answer
Explanation

The left lung is smaller than the right lung because the heart is located on the left side of the chest cavity and occupies space that would otherwise be taken by lung tissue. The left lung has only two lobes while the right lung has three lobes. The right lung is larger and shorter to accommodate the liver underneath the diaphragm.
