Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diminished breath sounds are commonly associated with pneumothorax, which is the presence of air in the pleural cavity that causes lung collapse.

Answer: A and B 
 Bronchial breath sounds are heard over the trachea and large bronchi, and are louder and higher pitched than vesicular breath sounds. Vesicular breath sounds are heard over the smaller bronchioles, alveoli, and lung periphery, and are softer and lower pitched than bronchial breath sounds. Both types of breath sounds are normal and present in different areas of the lungs.
