Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: With aging there is an increased susceptibility to pulmonary diseases because of a decrease in antibody production. Aging causes a change in the shape of the alveoli and an increase in the alveolar diameter but these have no effect on the patient's susceptibility to disease.
