The statement that is true about leukotrienes is that they create excess mucus in the airways (last option).

The presence of leukotrienes has been related to the development of allergic reactions, mainly in the respiratory tract, producing edema in the mucosa, contraction of the smooth muscles of the airways and increased production of mucus
in the airways.
