    B. Intrapleural pressure is the right answer

    Explanation:

    Because the atmospheric pressure isn't the result of any natural tendency of the lungs. It just is the pressure of the current atmospheric condition unrelated to us. The force exerted by gases within the alveoli is called intrapulmonary.
