Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

If the IgE were produced against a self disorder then it will be considered as autoimmune disorders in which the body's own molecules or substances are considered as antigen.

The immune system of the body starts producing the antibodies against these antigens.This can be considered as hypersensitive reaction which would lead to anaphylatic shocks.
