Solution

The correct option is B Smoking
The cause of emphysema is usually long-term exposure to irritants that damage the lungs and airways. This results in breakdown of alveolar walls resulting in large spaces, that impair exchange of gases and cause breathlessness. This may occur due to Smoking. Hence, Option B is correct.
