Which disease is characterized by shortness of breath and cough, often occurs at night, and may worsen throughout the work week?

Byssinosis
Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
Flavorings-Related Lung Disease
Occupational Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The correct answer is: Flavorings-Related Lung Disease

Flavorings-Related Lung Disease is the only option that includes symptoms of shortness of breath and cough, which can worsen throughout the work week. Byssinosis and Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis both involve respiratory symptoms, but are not specifically associated with worsening throughout the work week. Occupational Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease primarily affects the lungs and airways, but does not typically cause shortness a breath and cough.
