Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks the synovial joints. Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle, not related to joints. Bone remodeling is the natural process of breaking down and building up bone tissue. A sprain is an injury to a ligament, not to a bone or joint specifically. Arthritis is a term for inflammation in a joint, but it can have various causes and is not exclusive to autoimmune disorders.
