There are choices for this question namely:

<span>right primary
right secondary
left secondary
left primary
</span>
The correct answer is "right primary" or the right main bronchus. Anatomically, the right main bronchus has a larger diameter and a steeper angle (to compensate for the location of the liver). When a foreign body is accidentally aspirated, most commonly, it will lodge on the right main bronchus; especially in children.
