A
Regulation of hormone levels related to reproduction
B
Facilitation of gas exchange between blood and air

Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the primary functions of the human reproductive system. These include the production of gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females), regulation of hormones related to reproduction (e.g., testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone), and providing nourishment and protection for developing offspring (e.g., during pregnancy).
Identify the function in the list that does not align with the primary roles of the reproductive system. This requires knowledge of other body systems and their functions.
Recall that gas exchange between blood and air is a function of the respiratory system, specifically occurring in the alveoli of the lungs, and is unrelated to the reproductive system.
Compare the listed options to determine which one is inconsistent with the reproductive system's roles. Eliminate the options that are clearly functions of the reproductive system.
Conclude that the option 'Facilitation of gas exchange between blood and air' is NOT a function of the human reproductive system, as it pertains to the respiratory system instead.
