<span>B cells recognize their specific antigen on the surface of the invading pathogen or recognize toxins secreted by pathogens. Then, some B cells clone into memory B cells, while others multiply as plasma cells, which generate antibodies that bind to pathogens and block them from entering your healthy cells.</span>

B. Inflamed airways that obstruct airflow
E. Overinflated alveoli that impair gas exchange
Explanation:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes problems in air-flow and breathing. It is indicated by shortness of breath, cough, mucus production and wheezing. COPD is caused by genetic factors, long term exposure to irritating gas and most commonly by smoking.
The long term exposure to tobacco results in blocked air ways and destruction of airways. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are two most common causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Chronic bronchitis;
