Answer:

Foreign body airway obstruction.

Explanation:

Foreign body airway obstruction may be defined as the medical condition in which the breathing tube is completely or partially blocked due to the foreign substances. The cough develops suddenly in this condition.

The child has difficulty in breathing means that his breathing tube shows blockage. This has happened suddenly when he was playing with friends. The foreign substance present in air has entered in the body and causes difficulty in breathing. Hence, this describes the condition of foreign body airway obstruction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
