Well an Auto-Immune disorder is when the white blood cells mistake the own bodies cells for foreign invaders and begins attacking itself. So the options you gave don't necessarily make sense with what an Auto-Immune disorder is.

Yeah that's why I'm confused. The closest one I can come up with is B

anonymous · Answer

Well actually the closest one that I see listed to being accurate to an actual Auto-Immune disorder would have to be A. The Immune system attacks cells belonging to the body.

So I'd say from the list given A is the correct answer
