Answer:

B. It would lead to upper respiratory infections and pneumonia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pollution of the atmosphere causes numerous particles to be launched into the air. When we breathe in the air, we end up inhaling these particles that go into our lungs and may even enter the bloodstream. In the lung, particles can accumulate, generating numerous upper respiratory diseases and can cause pneumonia. Among the main respiratory diseases caused by air pollution, we can mention asthmatic bronchitis and bronchial inflammation.
