The most likely option that is functioning improperly in this scenario is the alveoli. The alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place. If the alveoli are not effectively receiving and transferring oxygen from the inhaled air to the bloodstream, it can result in low blood oxygen levels, even if the blood is circulating properly.
