The correct option is B Anthracosis
Anthracosis is the milder form of the black lung disease. It is caused by the accumulation of carbon in the lungs due to occupational exposure and inhalation of smoke or coal dust. Dyspnea is a condition in which there is shortness of breath. It could be the symptoms of any serious disease. Atelectasis is a condition in which there is collapse of part of lung or lung which results in reduced gas exchange. Cyanosis is the appearance of a blue or purple colouration of the skin or mucous membranes due to the tissues near the skin surface having low oxygen saturation.
