Answer:

Restrictive lung disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Restrictive lung disease may be defined as medical condition in which the lungs cannot be fully expanded. The lung capacity is decreased in this pulmonary disease.

Restrictive lung disease may decrease the inspiratory volume of the lungs whereas the expiratory volume is normal of an individual. This disease may get worse over time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
