Correct Answer: C

Holding the breath helps maximize drug delivery to the airways, improving the therapeutic effect of the medication.
Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect:
A: Waiting 10 minutes between inhalations is not recommended as it may delay the effectiveness of the medication.
B: Exhaling as the medication is released from the inhaler can cause the medication to be expelled before it is properly inhaled.
