Answer 1

Answer: b. ventilation is inadequate to oxygenate blood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Asthma is a condition related to the respiratory system of the body. The person may experience difficulty in the breathing process, cough, pain in chest, and wheezing.

Asthma is a condition that is characterized by the spasm of the bronchi present in the lungs. This restricts the flow of air in the lungs.

As the person experience the lack of proper ventilation in the lungs this may cause inadequate amount of oxygenate blood to be circulated in the entire body via lungs.
