• B. Erythroblastosis foetalis
• C. Diabetes Type 1
• D. Rheumatoid arthritis
• E. Asthma

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. The pancreas can't make insulin because the immune system attacks it and destroys the cells that produce insulin.

Rheumatoid arthritis, or RA, is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, which means that your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake, causing inflammation (painful swelling) in the affected parts of the body.
