Solution

The correct option is B Autoimmune diseases
Multiple sclerosis is a neuro-degenerative (demyelinating) disease. It is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation and loss of central nervous system myelin sheath. Although, the causative factors are under research, the mechanism of destruction of tissues is through production of auto-antibodies and also through T-cell mediated cell injury.
Hence, it is an auto-immune disease.
