The correct answer is C) textile industry.

Byssinosis, also known as “brown lung disease,” is an occupational lung disease caused by inhaling cotton, flax, or hemp dust. It is commonly found among workers in the textile industry, particularly those involved in the initial processing of cotton fibers.

Workers in the rubber industry may face risks from chemicals or latex. Ceramic industry workers may be exposed to silica dust (silicosis). Iron and steel industry workers may be exposed to metal fumes, dusts, and heat. Byssinosis is specifically linked to textile dust exposure.
