B) CORRECT. The chronic lung disease of cystic fibrosis often includes bronchiectasis, a disease characterized by inflammation with obstruction and dilation and destruction of bronchi. This process is diffuse throughout the lungs. The loss of pulmonary vascular bed with progressive bronchiectasis can lead to pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale.
