The answer is B, A, C. Asbestos exposure is associated with pleural fibrous plaques, fibrosis of the lung (asbestosis) and mesothelioma; asbestosis is the only form of pneumoconiosis with increased risk of bronchial carcinoma.

Inhaled organic dusts, i.e., moulds, can cause extrinsic allergic alveolitis (Arthus reaction).

Pneumoconiosis and rheumatoid arthritis are associated with large rounded nodules in the lung which may undergo necrosis and resemble TB or cancer.

The presence of carbon in macrophages (D) is known as anthracosis and is almost universal. The metal beryllium causes sarcoid-like reactions in lungs, liver and lymph nodes (E).
