Answer 1

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Exacerbation is a  chronic lung disease which causes the airway to be swollen.  Exacerbation of asthma cause disease morbidity and causes progressive loss in the functioning of lungs. Exacerbation of asthma when diagnosed should be treated immediately by giving the prescribed drugs to promote bronchiolar dilation.
