Explanation:

Question 11

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, which is the definition of autoimmunity. Alloimmunity involves reactions to foreign antigens from another individual (e.g., transplant rejection), homoimmunity and alleimmunity are not standard immune - related terms in this context.

When the maternal immune system reacts to fetal antigens (antigens from a genetically different individual within the same species), this is an example of alloimmunity. Autoimmune is when the immune system attacks self - antigens, anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction, and allergic reactions are to environmental allergens.

Answer:

A. autoimmunity
