    A

    Explanation:

    Before exchange, it is expected that the capillaries (that have deoxygenated blood) will have more carbon dioxide while the lungs will have more oxygen. This allows for oxygen to diffuse into the capillaries while carbon dioxide diffused into the lungs during the exchange.
