On exam: RR: 24/min SpO₂: 92% on room air Fine inspiratory crackles at both lung bases Pulmonary function testing reveals: Reduced total lung capacity (TLC) Normal FEV₁/FVC ratio Decreased DLCO Which of the following best explains the underlying mechanical abnormality contributing to this patient’s symptoms?
