a. antitussive
b. expectorant
c. bronchodilator
d. corticosteroid
e. antihistamine

Explanation:

An expectorant helps thin mucus in the chest, making it easier to cough up. An antitussive suppresses cough. A bronchodilator relaxes airway muscles. A corticosteroid reduces inflammation. An antihistamine blocks histamine (used for allergies). Since the goal is to thin mucus, expectorant is correct.

Answer:

B. expectorant
