None of the given responses are completely accurate.

The primary effects of cystic fibrosis (CF) are respiratory and digestive issues. CF is a genetic disorder that affects the production and movement of mucus and fluids, leading to the build-up of thick, sticky secretions in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. In the respiratory system, this can cause frequent lung infections, difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, and decreased lung function. In the digestive system, CF can impair the function of the pancreas, leading to enzyme deficiencies, malabsorption of nutrients, and poor weight gain. CF can also affect other body systems and organs, such as the liver, sinuses, reproductive system, and sweat glands.
