Explanation:

Asthma is characterized by airway - obstruction due to inflammation. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between alveoli and pulmonary capillaries is external respiration. Oxidation is a chemical process not related to this gas - exchange, and internal respiration occurs at the tissue level.

Answer:

1. A. an inflammatory response obstructs the airways
2. C. external respiration (not given in options but correct term; if we assume based on knowledge and the closest concept among options is not present, the question has an issue. But if we consider the most relevant wrong - option, none of the given ones are exactly correct)
