Answer to Question 1

C
PPHN usually appears within the first 12 hours of birth. It cannot be detected in utero. Other conditions will appear quickly after birth or several days later.

Answer to Question 2

D
When air is introduced between the visceral and parietal pleura, the pleura will separate, leading to lung collapse and the outward movement of the chest wall.
