Solution

The characteristic associated with pulmonary fibrosis that makes it a restrictive disorder of the respiratory system is "There is a loss of vital capacity associated with pulmonary fibrosis."

This is because pulmonary fibrosis involves the scarring or thickening of lung tissues, which makes it harder for the lungs to work properly and reduces the lungs' capacity to hold air. This loss of vital capacity restricts the amount of air that can be inhaled and exhaled, hence it is a restrictive lung disorder.
