  A) A child's airway has more blood vessels than an adult's, making bleeding more of a concern.
  B) The child's tongue is proportionally larger, increasing the chance of airway occlusion from swelling.
  C) Children tend to be highly allergic to bee stings while the same allergy in an adult is rare.
  D) When injured, a child's mouth produces more saliva, making airway occlusion a major concern.
