When the healthy lung tissue becomes fibrotic, the tissue density increases due to the scarring and thickening of the lung tissue. This results in an increase in the absorption of X-rays, leading to the need for an increase in exposure technique to penetrate the denser tissue. As a result, pneumoconiosis is an additive condition that contributes to the overall density of the lung tissue. Therefore, all of the above statements are correct.
