Which of the following is a common respiratory anomaly associated with preterm birth?

Choice A rationaleIntraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a common complication of prematurity, but it is a neurological issue, not a primary respiratory anomaly.Choice B rationaleMeconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) occurs when a newborn inhales meconium-stained amniotic fluid, leading to respiratory issues, more common in term or post-term infants.Choice C rationaleNeonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is a common respiratory anomaly in preterm infants due to insufficient surfactant production, causing alveolar collapse and impaired gas exchange.Choice D rationaleFetal lung hypoplasia, or underdeveloped lungs, can occur in various conditions but is not specifically a respiratory anomaly linked directly to prematurity.
