    Explanation & Rationale

Reduced bronchial inflammation: Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used to reduce inflammation in the airways, helping to prevent asthma attacks and allergic rhinitis. C. Neutralized gastric acid: Montelukast does not have a role in neutralizing gastric acid. D. Increased WBC count: Montelukast does not typically affect the white blood cell count.
