A. Raynaud’s phenomena
B. Arthritis
C. Lymphadenopathy
D. Thrombocytopenia

Correct Answer: D. Thrombocytopenia

Explanation:
Primary Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder primarily affecting the exocrine glands, leading to dry eyes and dry mouth (sicca symptoms). It also has extraglandular manifestations involving other organs and systems, such as:

Raynaud’s phenomena (vascular involvement).
Arthritis (non-erosive, resembling rheumatoid arthritis).
Lymphadenopathy (due to immune system hyperactivity).
Thrombocytopenia, or low platelet count, is not typically associated with primary Sjogren’s syndrome. It is more commonly seen in conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or other hematologic disorders.
