74. A male newborn delivered at 34 weeks' gestation dies of respiratory failure shortly after birth. The pregnancy was complicated by oligohydramnios found in the second trimester. Fetal ultrasonography at that time showed lack of a urinary bladder, and renal agenesis was suspected. Which of the following best describes the mechanism of respiratory failure in this newborn? A) Oligohydramnios associated with hypoplastic ungs B) Oligohydramnios associated with hypoplastic right ventricle C) Oligohydramnios associated with tracheoesophageal fistula D) Renal agenesis associated with insufficient surfactant production E) Renal agenesis associated with tracheal atresia
