Solution

The correct option is C Rheumatic arthritis
  • Rheumatic arthritis is an example of an autoimmune disease that affects the joints.
  • The autoimmune diseases are generated due to the activity of the immune cells against the self-cells.
  • The immune cells are not able to distinguish between the self and the non-self cells.
  • There is no known antigen that can provoke the immune cells to show an immune response against the cells of the body.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
