The correct Answer is:
To determine the acute infection of the lungs from the given options, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Acute Infections**: - Acute infections are typically characterized by a sudden onset and a short duration. They primarily affect the airways and may not necessarily involve the alveoli (the tiny air sacs in the lungs). 2. **Identify Common Acute Lung Infections**: - Common examples of acute lung infections include influenza and the common cold. These infections primarily affect the bronchi and do not usually lead to complications involving the alveoli. 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - Look at the options provided to identify which one describes an acute infection of the lungs: - **Option 1**: An acute infection of lungs caused due to technical growth in alveoli. - **Option 2**: Chronic disorder of lungs caused by excessive cigarette smoking. - **Option 3**: The walls of the alveoli become more elastic (associated with pneumonia). - **Option 4**: Condition of damaged alveoli is reverted back to normal by cessation of smoking. 4. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1**: This option suggests an acute infection but mentions "technical growth in alveoli," which is not a typical description of an acute infection. - **Option 2**: Chronic disorder due to smoking is not an acute infection. - **Option 3**: This option describes pneumonia, which is indeed an acute infection but involves the alveoli. - **Option 4**: This option discusses the effects of smoking on alveoli, which does not describe an acute infection. 5. **Select the Correct Option**: - Based on the analysis, the first option is misleading as it implies an acute infection but refers to alveolar growth. The most appropriate acute lung infection from the context provided would be influenza or the common cold, which are not explicitly listed. However, pneumonia (mentioned in option 3) is a recognized acute infection but affects the alveoli. ### Conclusion: Given the context and the definitions provided, the correct answer to the question about acute infections of the lungs is **Option 1**, but it may not be the best phrasing for an acute infection.
