" A 6 year old boy is brought to the physician by his parents because of a 3-day history of fever, headache, and cough productive of foul-smelling discharge that also exits from his nose. He has had repeated episodes of similar symptoms during the past 4 years. He appears pale, and lethargic. His height and weight are below 10%. Coarse ronchi are heard bilaterally. An x-ray of the chest shows scattered peripheral capacities, dilated and thickened airways consistent with bronchiectasis and cardiac apex that is directed towards the right. The most likely cause of his recurrent infections is a dysfunction of the following cell type?
a. Alveolar Capillary Endothelial cell
b. Alveolar Macrophages
c. Chondrocyte
d. Ciliated columnar epithelium cell
e. Clara cells
f. Goblet cell
g. Kluchitsky cell
h. Squamous epithelial cell
i. Type I pneumocytes
j. Type II pneumocytes. "
Good luck
