Step 1

The ganglion can be defined as a small or tiny cystic tumor that is connected or attached either with a joint membrane or with the tendon sheath. 

Step 2

In the terminal ganglion associated with the lung airway, smooth muscle is damaged. It will prevent acetylcholine's release into the airway smooth muscle's muscarinic receptors because the parasympathetic nerves are responsible for providing the dominant autonomic control of the airway's smooth muscle. Thus, they will release acetylcholine onto the muscarinic receptors, causing contraction and bronchoconstriction. Therefore, if the smooth muscle will be damaged, that acetylcholine will not be released.

Therefore, the correct statement is acetylcholine release onto muscarinic receptors of the airway smooth muscle.
