Question
Which of these statements about Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is/are correct?W. Typically, neurons within the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) are most affected.X.

Solution
The correct answer is d. if only Z is correct.
Explanation:
W. This statement is incorrect. In Multiple Sclerosis (MS), it is the neurons within the Central Nervous System (CNS), not the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), that are most affected.
X. This statement is incorrect. MS is not classified primarily as a Type III hypersensitivity (immune complex-mediated) disease. It is considered a type IV hypersensitivity (T-cell mediated) disease.
Y. This statement is incorrect. There is indeed neuronal axon destruction seen in MS. This destruction is what leads to the various symptoms of the disease.
Z. This statement is correct. Inflammation in and around the optic nerve (optic neuritis) is a common early symptom of MS.
