The correct answer is bronchitis. Bronchitis is a respiratory infection where the bronchi, which are the small tubes that carry air to the lungs, become inflamed. As a result, excess mucus is produced, causing coughing and difficulty breathing. To determine the correct answer, you can review the symptoms and characteristics of each option and compare them to the given description. In this case, asthma is a chronic lung condition characterized by airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction, but it does not necessarily involve the production of thick mucus. Cancer refers to the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, which may affect the bronchi, but it is not specific to the symptoms described in the question. Addiction, on the other hand, has no direct relation to respiratory infections or the production of mucus. Therefore, bronchitis is the most appropriate answer.
