The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the listed conditions are autoimmune disorders, we will analyze each condition one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the conditions**: The conditions listed are: - A) SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency) - B) Grave's disease - C) Rheumatoid arthritis - D) Alzheimer's disease - E) Myasthenia gravis - F) Addison's disease - G) Parkinson's disease 2. **Define Autoimmune Disorders**: Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells, tissues, or organs. 3. **Analyze each condition**: - **A) SCID**: This is not an autoimmune disorder; it is an immunodeficiency disorder caused by genetic defects affecting the immune system. - **B) Grave's disease**: This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to overproduction of thyroid hormones. - **C) Rheumatoid arthritis**: This is an autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints due to the immune system attacking the synovium. - **D) Alzheimer's disease**: This is not an autoimmune disorder; it is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the buildup of proteins in the brain. - **E) Myasthenia gravis**: This is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies block or destroy the communication between nerves and muscles, leading to weakness. - **F) Addison's disease**: This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the adrenal glands, leading to insufficient production of hormones. - **G) Parkinson's disease**: This is not an autoimmune disorder; it is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. 4. **List the autoimmune disorders**: Based on the analysis: - Grave's disease (B) - Rheumatoid arthritis (C) - Myasthenia gravis (E) - Addison's disease (F) ### Final Answer: The autoimmune disorders from the list are: - B) Grave's disease - C) Rheumatoid arthritis - E) Myasthenia gravis - F) Addison's disease
