Answer 1

Ans) 1) a. Penicillamine ( chelating agent )

Explaination:

Chelation therapy- In this treatment, a medication eg. Penicillamine is given by mouth that binds with lead so it is excreted in urine. Thus this will help in treating lead posioning.

2) d. Asthma

Explaination:

- Inflammation and narrowing of the airway in any location, from throat out into lungs, can result in wheezing.

- The most common causes of recurrent wheezing are asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which both cause narrowing and spasms (bronchospasms) in the small airways of lungs.

3) c. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Explaination:

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, although not usually fatal, is the most common cause of heart-related sudden death in people under 30.

- It's the most common identifiable cause of sudden death in athletes.

- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy often goes undetected.
