Explanation / Answer

B) is the correct option.

Gullien- Barre sundrome is a type of auto immune disorder which can happen due to the infection of campylobacter. Campylobacter is responsible for diarrhoea but when it enters our body and our immune system start making antibodies against it. So, some part of the camylobacter show homology with our nerve cells and thus antibodies are also directed towards nerve cells leading to their degeneration.

The O 19 strain of this bacteria has shown to be most prominent than others in causing Guillan -Barre diseases in most part of Japan, U.S.A etc.
