Solution

The correct options are
B Lupus
D Rheumatoid arthritis
Autoimmune disorder occurs when the body attacks its own cells. In lupus, the immune system attacks tissues in various parts of the body. This abnormal activity leads to tissue damage and illness. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis the immune system attacks the membrane lining the joints of the body instead of attacking foreign particles, leading to joint damage. Cancer is a disease caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division. AIDS is caused by a virus.
