A, B
A nebulizer is the quickest delivery method, and short-acting beta-adrenergic agonists, such as albuterol and levalbuterol, treat acute bronchospasm.
An oral medication would not work quickly enough for a severe bronchospasm attack.
An inhaled corticosteroid would help inflammation but would not be the most effective choice.
A leukotriene modifier is effective as a mucolytic, therefore it would not be the correct choice.
