This question is testing your knowledge on the respiratory/conducting zone. The bronchioles are comprised of the (bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, and respiratory bronchioles) which all contain smooth muscle, the respiratory bronchioles have the most "sparse" amount of smooth muscle though. Together, these comprise the largest amount of smooth muscle in the respiratory tract and therefore would be most susceptible to flow limitation due to smooth muscle contraction during an asthma attack.
