Ans:
C

Feedback:

While NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressives are all noted treatment options for SLE, antiplatelet aggregators are unlikely to address the etiology or signs and symptoms of the disease. A new drug that has shown positive effects in decreasing inflammatory exacerbations for people with SLE is Belimumab, which is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits B-lymphocyte stimulator.
