The answer is: Mesothelioma.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Prostate cancer: This type of cancer is not typically associated with occupational hazards related to construction work. It is more commonly linked to age, family history, and genetic factors.

  2. Bladder cancer: While bladder cancer can be associated with certain occupational exposures, such as those in the dye industry, it is less commonly linked to construction work compared to mesothelioma.

  3. Mesothelioma: This cancer is strongly associated with asbestos exposure, which is a known occupational hazard in the construction industry. Asbestos was widely used in construction materials, and prolonged exposure can lead to the development of mesothelioma, particularly affecting the lining of the lungs.

  4. Bone cancer: This type of cancer is not typically linked to occupational hazards in construction work. It is more often related to genetic factors or previous radiation exposure.

In summary, mesothelioma is the most likely cancer to develop secondarily to occupational hazards in a construction worker due to potential asbestos exposure.
