Which chemical exposure is associated with berylliosis, as mentioned in the text?

Asbestos
Lead
Beryllium
Formaldehyde

The correct answer is: Beryllium

Berylliosis is a lung disease caused by exposure to beryllium, which is a toxic metal often used in manufacturing and metal processing. Asbestos, lead, and formaldehyde are all known to cause other serious health conditions, but they are not specifically associated with berylliosis. Beryllium is the primary concern when it comes to this particular disease, so option C is the correct answer.
