Hashiomoto's thyroiditis, the classic autoimmune disease. Gotta love those immune complexes! *cracks knuckles* Time to ace this exam.

Wait, are we sure there's even a correct answer here? Maybe the exam writer is just trying to trick us. *laughs* Ah, the joys of med school.

I'm pretty sure Allergic rhinitis is a type I hypersensitivity, not type III. This one's tricky, but I'll go with B) Graves disease.

Hmm, Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder, so that can't be right. Gotta go with C) Hashiomoto's thyroiditis on this one.
