Answer to Question 1

D
A wide variety of disorders cause restrictive lung disease including pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis. Asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis are considered obstructive pulmonary diseases.

Answer to Question 2

2. Degenerative joint disease and functional and mobility problems

Rationale:
Overweight and obesity are risk factors for degenerative joint disease and functional and mobility problems. There is no relationship between overweight and chronic cough. Urinary retention is not a risk of obesity. There may be some relationship indirectly to stroke.
