The correct option is B Allergy
Allergies, also known as allergic diseases are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity (excessive) of the immune system to typically harmless substances in the environment. Symptoms may include red eyes, an itchy rash, sneezing, a runny nose, shortness of breath. Food, insect stings, and medications are common causes of severe reactions.
So, the correct answer is 'Allergy'.
