Solution

The correct option is B Myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease. It is known as a neuromuscular disorder as it causes weakness of voluntary skeletal muscles. Nerve impulse which activates the skeletal muscles is blocked by antibodies which block the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors present at the junction between the nerve and muscle.
So, the correct answer is option C.
