✓ Correct answer: D. Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN)Answer: Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN) Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN) is the most common cause of respiratory distress in term and late preterm infants. It typically occurs shortly after birth when fluid remains in the newborn's lungs, making it harder to breathe. TTN usually resolves within 72 hours of life. Unlike Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), which is more common in premature babies due to surfactant deficiency, TTN affects those born at or near term. Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) are less common but significant neonatal respiratory conditions.
