The correct option is A Bronchitis

Inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes causes bronchitis. Particulate matter, a prominent source of air pollution, causes pneumoconiosis, byssinosis, emphysema, siderosis, bronchitis and several other pulmonary problems. Short breath and severe coughing are the two prominent symptoms.

Rheumatism is a disease of joints.

Haemophilia is genetic sex-linked disorder in which blood fails to clot normally.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
