• B. Spitting
• C. Choking
• D. Breathing

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Choking

At times, when we are having food, it may happen that the food, instead of entering the oesophagus, enters the windpipe or the trachea. When this happens, the person's breathing passage gets blocked. This condition is commonly known as choking. If not treated quickly, choking can be fatal.
