The common name given to classify the airway from the nares to the terminal bronchioles is conducting airways. These airways are responsible for transporting air to and from the lungs and include the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles.

Answer: D 
 While conducting airways is the most specific term for the airway sections mentioned, the more general term of upper airway is also commonly used to describe this area. The upper airway includes the structures from the nares to the larynx, and is separated from the lower airway (which includes the bronchi and lungs) by the trachea.
