I'm pretty sure Allergic rhinitis is a type I hypersensitivity, not type III. This one's tricky, but I'll go with B) Graves disease.

Hmm, Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder, so that can't be right. Gotta go with C) Hashiomoto's thyroiditis on this one.

I'm not sure, but I think Lupus causes immune complexes to deposit in tissues.

I'd say Lupus is the correct answer here. Type III hypersensitivity reactions involve immune complexes, and Lupus is a classic example of that.
