Correct answer: A. Bronchial asthma
- A. Bronchial asthma
- B. cardiac asthma
- C. Hypertension
- D. Angina pectrosis

Beta2 stimulation relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, so beta2 agonists such as salbutamol are used for bronchial asthma. Cardiac asthma is pulmonary oedema from left-heart failure and requires treatment of the cardiac cause, not simply a beta2 agonist.
