Answer:

Asthma refers to a disease in which swelling of the airways results in the restriction of airflow into and out of the lungs. During the occurrence of an asthma attack, the production of the mucus gets increased, the bronchial tree muscles become constricted, and the inflammation of the air passages lining occurs. This further minimizes the flow of air and generates a kind of wheezing sound.  

The bronchodilators quickly help in relieving the symptoms of acute asthma by opening the airways. The activity of inhaled bronchodilator begins some minutes post inhalation and endures for two to four hours.  

All the kinds of steroids minimize swelling in the airways, which transports air towards the lungs and minimize the generation of mucus produced by the bronchial tubes. This makes one breathe easily.  

The inhaled steroids cure swelling of the airways, and only a very minute concentration of it gets captivated by the body. Thus, these medicines do not seem to result in any kind of serious side effects in a long run.

Answer:

C. fungus-like protist

Explanation:

The fungus-like protists are organisms that seem like plants, but are much more closely related to the animals. They tend to be parasitic, thus they use a host in order to be able to get the needed nutrition. Unlike the producers, the fungus-like protists are not capable of performing the process of photosynthesis, thus they do not produce their own food. Considering these characteristics, it is no wonder that they can mostly be found on dead plants from which they can feed upon.
