Auto-immune disease :: Sometimes, due to genetic and other unknown reasons, the body attack self-cells. This results in damage to the body and is called auto-immune disease.

From the options,

-> Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies are produced against the synovial membrane and cartilage.

-> Vitiligo causes white patches on skin also characterised as autoimmune disorder.

-> Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes itchy or sore patches of thick red skin and is also autoimmune.
