Solution

The correct option is B Rheumatoid arthritis
Autoimmune diseases arise from an abnormal immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. This may be restricted to certain organs or involve a particular tissue in different places.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system turns its attacks against a membrane that lines the joints. This can cause joint pains, warmth, swelling and stiffness.
Cancer is abnormal growth of cells.
Asthma is a chronic long-term disease that inflames and narrows the airways.
Erythroblastosis foetalis is a condition that causes the mother's RBCs attack those of babies as they would any foreign invaders.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
