Solution

The correct option is B Chronic bronchitis and emphysema
  1. Chronic bronchitis is a disease caused by the inflammation of bronchitis which secretes mucous leads to coughing and breathing difficulty and is commonly observed in smokers.
  2. Emphysema is a disease in which alveolar sacs get damage which results in the deficiency in the amount of oxygen required by the body and its common cause is also smoking.
When both diseases are found together in a patient it is referred to as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) or chronic obstructive airways disease.
So, the correct answer is option B.
