Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Sedimentation occurs mostly in the central airways and increases with time, affecting particles down to 1 m in diameter.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A 10-sec breath-hold can increase aerosol deposition as much as 10 and increase the ratio of aerosol deposited in lung parenchyma to central airway by four-fold.
