Solution

The correct option is B Autoimmune disease
An autoimmune disease is a condition arising from an abnormal immune response to a normal body part. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body tissues leading to the destruction of body tissue. The immune system recognizes the body tissue as foreign and produces antibodies against the body tissue.
So, the correct answer is 'Autoimmune disease'.
