Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The body is normally able to distinguish its own self-antigens from foreign nonself antigens and does not attack (immunologic) against itself. At times, the body loses tolerance and mounts an abnormal immune attack. Autoimmue disease results from the activation of self-reactive T and B cells. Rheumatoid arthritis is an example of autoimmune disease.
