Answer:

D

Explanation:

This mutation affects these secretory cells and causes them to secrete a thick secretion (rather than the normal 'thin' kind) hence they clog up ducts, pores, and tubes. This is how even the lungs are affected causing wheezing and breathlessness. It gest worse when the mucus accumulates infectious bacteria.
