Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Pulmonary hypoplasia is the most common congenital respiratory disorder, which is characterized by underdevelopment of the lungs. Primary pulmonary arterial hypertension and secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension are not congenital disorders but acquired ones. Tuberculous pleurisy is a type of pleural effusion caused by tuberculosis infection and is not a congenital respiratory disorder.
