Ooh, E. Histamine, my personal favorite. It's like the party animal of the bunch, always making a scene.

C. Arachidonic acid, of course! It's like the rock star of leukotriene precursors. I bet it has a killer tour bus.

B. Cyanide? Really? That's a bold choice, but I'm not sure it's the right fit here. Might as well order some cyanide-laced tea while we're at it.
