The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about a condition that leads to difficulty in breathing and wheezing due to the constriction of bronchi and bronchioles. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms in the question are "difficulty in breathing," "wheezing," "constriction," "bronchi," and "bronchioles." These terms are associated with respiratory conditions. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: The options given are asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and pneumonia. We need to evaluate which of these conditions is characterized by the symptoms described. 4. **Evaluating Each Condition**: - **Asthma**: A chronic condition that causes the airways to tighten and swell, leading to difficulty in breathing and wheezing. It is often triggered by allergens. - **Emphysema**: A condition that primarily involves the destruction of alveoli and does not typically cause wheezing due to bronchi constriction. - **Bronchitis**: Involves inflammation of the bronchi but does not primarily cause wheezing due to constriction like asthma does. - **Pneumonia**: An infection that inflates the air sacs in one or both lungs, leading to cough and difficulty breathing, but not specifically wheezing due to constriction. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, asthma is the condition that specifically causes wheezing due to the constriction of bronchi and bronchioles. 6. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **asthma**.
