Solution

The correct option is A Cytosilicosis
The labours who are working in the cement factories suffer from respiratory disorders. Cement contains silica and the cement is present in the powdered form which readily gets into the atmosphere. The cement particles when inhaled results in cytosilicosis. This is a disease in which there is an accumulation of silica in the cells of the body.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
