Q25

The disease caused by inhalation of silica particles.

A.
Silicons
B.
Sidorosis
Answer
C.
Asbestosis
D.
None

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Option A: Silicons

This option is incorrect. "Silicons" does not refer to any disease caused by the inhalation of silica particles. It might be a confusion with "silicosis." However, "Silicons" itself is not a medical term related to respiratory diseases.

Option B: Sidorosis

This option is incorrect. "Sidorosis" is actually a typo or incorrect term. The correct term is "silicosis," which is the disease caused by the inhalation of silica particles. The correct spelling should be "silicosis."

Option C: Asbestosis

This option is incorrect. Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. It is not related to silica particles.

Option D: None

This option is incorrect. There is a specific disease caused by the inhalation of silica particles, which is "silicosis," although it is not listed correctly in the provided options.

Conclusion:

The correct term for the disease caused by inhalation of silica particles is "silicosis." However, given the provided options, there appears to be a mistake. The intended correct answer should be "silicosis," making Option B: Sidorosis a typographical error for the correct answer.
