The statement that best represents how the respiratory system interacts with the circulatory system is:

b. The respiratory system supplies oxygen to the blood, and the circulatory system transports oxygen to cells.

This accurately describes the collaboration between the two systems: the respiratory system takes in oxygen from the environment, which then diffuses into the bloodstream, while the circulatory system transports that oxygen to the body's cells for use in metabolism.
