**Core Concept**
The question is testing the understanding of fetal development, specifically the size and maturation of various organs and systems at birth. Most organs and systems are developed up to their adult size by birth, but there are some exceptions.
**Why the Correct Answer is Right**
The lungs are a notable exception. They are not fully developed at birth and continue to mature after birth. This is due to the fact that the alveoli, which are the air sacs where gas exchange occurs, are not fully formed at birth. The alveoli are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the lungs and the blood. In the lungs, the surface area for gas exchange is increased by the formation of alveoli, which is not complete at birth. This is why premature infants often experience respiratory distress syndrome.
