Fibrosis due to silica exposure is termed:

  1. Silicosis

  2. Bronchiolitis

  3. Emphysema

  4. Fibromyalgia

The correct answer is: Silicosis

This is because silicosis is a type of lung disease caused by breathing in crystalline silica dust. Bronchiolitis is a condition affecting the small airways in the lungs, but it is not related to silica exposure. Emphysema is a type of chronic lung disease, but it is not specific to silica exposure. Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder and is not related to the lungs or silica exposure. Therefore, the term for fibrosis due to silica exposure is specifically called silicosis.
