A 24-year-old woman presents to the doctor with shortness of breath, cough, and a low-grade fever. The symptoms began shortly after she moved in with her boyfriend, who lives in a three-bedroom house filled with exotic birds. She had asthma as a child, but the symptoms "are not like that." She most likely is suffering from which of the following conditions?
A) Asthma, whose symptoms have changed as she has gotten older, triggered by bird feathers
B) A conversion disorder because she feels neglected by her boyfriend who prefers the company of the birds
C) Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, triggered by exposure to dusts generated by the birds
D) Diffuse alveolar damage, which can be triggered by many things
E) Sarcoidosis, which is unrelated to the birds or the boyfriend
