IMO E

We are talking about a one disease (singular) so we need to find the sentence that represents that. Only B and E does that

Of B and E I chose E since the disease is charazterized by Damaged cartilage and bone (E).

Choice B IMO is too wordy .

I would like to know the OA when possible :) ..

Hope this helps.

Hey mate,

OA B

B- definitely is wordy. But intends the correct meaning.

Let's get to E.

E says - damaged cartilage and bone although 'they' are not attacked by immune system. What is 'they' referring to? Damaged cartilage and bone or 'cartilage and bone'. It is referring to the former, resulting in conveying the wrong meaning.

Pls hit 'thank' if you find my post useful
