Final answer:

Laryngospasm occurs next in the drowning process after breath-holding when the airway is submerged.


Explanation:

Laryngospasm occurs next in the drowning process after involuntary breath-holding due to the airway being submerged. A laryngospasm is a reflex the body uses to prevent water from entering the lungs by sealing the airway. This reflex helps in reducing the amount of water that enters the lungs during drowning.
