B
When asthma is not well controlled, the presence of chronic inflammation can lead to damage and hyperplasia of the bronchial epithelial cells and of the bronchial smooth muscle. In addition, when asthma attacks are more frequent, exposure even to reduced levels of the triggering agent or event will stimulate an attack.
