Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The ground glass pattern on a chest X-ray in a newborn indicates respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). RDS is a condition where the lungs are not fully developed, leading to difficulty in breathing. This pattern is due to the presence of fluid in the alveoli, causing a hazy appearance. Asphyxia, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and transient tachypnea of the newborn do not typically present with a ground glass pattern on chest X-ray. Asphyxia is a lack of oxygen, persistent pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the lungs, and transient tachypnea of the newborn is rapid breathing.
Therefore, the correct answer is D, respiratory distress syndrome.
