The answer is D. The diaphragm.
- the diaphragm is a muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities and aids in breathing.

The peritoneum is a serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity.

The lungs are found in the thoracic cavity and are for respiration.

The stomach is found in the abdominal cavity and is for digestion.

Hope this helps!
