The correct option is C Asthma
Polio is a disease caused by poliovirus which affects the central nervous system and causes paralysis of muscles and causes its weakness.
Arthritis is caused due to inflammation of joints. Reduction in the amount of cartilage tissue may lead to arthritis.
Asthma is the inflammation of lungs or respiratory tract which is caused due to environmental and genetic factors. Wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath are some common symptoms.
