Answer to Question 1

C
Benign tumors grow slowly and are encapsulated. Because of this, they are less harmful than malignant tumors, which are metastatic and grow in a disordered manner.

Answer to Question 2

D
When excessive bronchial secretions are present, the ventilation/perfusion ratio is decreased. Increased airway resistance would result from the excessive secretions which would stimulate the irritant reflex.
