• B. asthma

• D. emphysema

Answer 1

The correct option is C

bronchitis

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the linings of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs. Whereas, pneumonia is an infection caused by bacteria or virus that results in inflammation in one or both lungs. Asthma is a condition in which the airways become narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Emphysema is a condition where alveoli rupture and cause shortness of breath.
