Solution

The correct option is B
Asthma

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) refers to microscopic solid or liquid matter suspended in the Earth's atmosphere. Air pollutants consist of gaseous pollutants, odours, and SPMs, (suspended particulate matter) such as dust, fumes, mist, and smoke. The high concentration of these particles in and near urban areas causes severe pollution of the surroundings. High amount of SPM in air leads to respiratory problems and lung diseases like asthma.
