What is Lupus?

  1. A type of hair

  2. A permanent hair removal method

  3. A skin infection

  4. An auto-immune disease

The correct answer is: An auto-immune disease

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues and organs. It is not related to hair or hair removal methods, and it is not a skin infection. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect. The symptoms of lupus can vary widely and may include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and organ damage. If left untreated, lupus can be life-threatening.
