Explanation:

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome affects fetal development, not lung air sacs. Chronic Bronchitis involves inflammation of bronchial tubes, not destruction of alveoli. 2nd hand smoke is a risk factor, not a condition. Paranoia is a psychological symptom. Emphysema is defined by the destruction of the lung's tiny air sacs (alveoli), leading to severe shortness of breath.

Answer:

D. Emphysema
