Autoimmunity is the system of immune responses of an organism against its own cells and tissues. It is the abnormal immune response in which immune system attacks healthy cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Autoimmune disease is a condition in which our own immune system attacks our own tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints.
Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease in which the patient;s own immune system attacks the thyroid gland causing it to produce too much of thyroid hormone.
Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune condition caused by inflammation of the thyroid gland.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

An autoimmune disease is a condition arising from an abnormal immune response to normal body tissue. In an autoimmune disease, the immune system fails to recognize self-cells and produces antibodies against self-cells. Common symptoms include low-grade fever and feeling tired. Autoimmune disease is due to genetic abnormality or other environmental factors. 

Innate immunity works without concern about how much damage happened but to protect the body and the body exposed to an antigen in an environment develops natural innate immunity.

Autoimmune diseases are disorders in which the bodys immune system attacks the body's own cells and organs with proteins called autoantibodies; this process is called autoimmunity. The bodys immune system normally makes large numbers of proteins called antibodies to help the body fight off infections. In some cases, however, the body makes autoantibodies. Examples include systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjgren's syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Addison's Disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), polymyositis (PM).

Smallpox vaccine is produced from the artificially attenuated smallpox virus. The administration of this vaccine ios called as vaccination against smallpox. As on administration of this vaccine, our body develops immunity against the particular virus.

• Hepatitis B vaccine is a vaccine that prevents hepatitis B.
•  The first dose is recommended within 24 hours of birth with either two or three more doses given after that. 
• The vaccine is given by injection into a muscle. Serious side effects of the hepatitis B vaccine are very uncommon. Pain may occur at the site of injection.
•  The current vaccines are produced with recombinant DNA techniques.
• Hence, the Hepatitis B vaccine is Recombinant antigen vaccine.
•   So, the correct answer is 'Recombinant antigen vaccine'.

BCG stands for Bacillus Calmette Guerin, a vaccine given for protection against tuberculosis (T.B.) which is an airborne disease, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The varicella vaccine has resulted in a decrease in the number of cases and complications from the disease. It protects about 70 to 90 percent of people from disease with a greater benefit for severe disease. Routine immunization of children is recommended in many countries. Immunization within three days of exposure may improve outcomes in children. Treatment of those infected may include calamine lotion to help with itching, keeping the fingernails short to decrease injury from scratching, and the use of paracetamol (acetaminophen) to help with fevers.
