Solution

The correct option is D Allergies
  • Asthma is a respiratory condition marked by attacks of spasm in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing.
  • Hay fever is the common name for allergic rhinitis. It is an allergic reaction to allergens, or triggers, breathed in through the nose.
  • When one of these allergens is breathed in, there is an immune response in the lining of the nose. This causes the nasal passages to become swollen and inflamed.
  • Asthma and hayfever are closely linked, and approximately 80% of people with asthma also suffer from hayfever.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
