The answer is the second one (B): Celiac disease.

Explanation for each option:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis: This is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints, causing inflammation and pain. It does not specifically damage the small intestine.

  • Celiac disease: This is an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It specifically affects the villi in the small intestine, leading to malabsorption of nutrients.

  • Lupus erythematosus: This is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, and organs, but it is not specifically known for damaging the small intestine.

  • Diabetes mellitus type I: This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It does not directly damage the small intestine.

Summary: Celiac disease is the immunosuppressive disease that damages the small intestine.
