The correct answer is: Lung cancer and heart disease

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, or secondhand smoke, has been linked to a variety of health conditions, but the most significant and well-established ones are lung cancer and heart disease. These conditions have been shown to be more prevalent in those exposed to secondhand smoke, as the toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage the cells in the lungs and cardiovascular system. This leads to an increased risk for lung cancer and heart disease. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not associated with exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
