What process includes skin cell growth acceleration due to the immune system?

The correct answer is rooted in the understanding of psoriasis as a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by an overactive immune system that accelerates the growth of skin cells. In individuals with psoriasis, the immune system mistakenly targets healthy skin cells, leading to rapid proliferation. This results in the accumulation of skin cells on the surface, forming the characteristic plaques associated with the condition.

Psoriasis specifically demonstrates how the immune response can lead to abnormal skin development, distinguishing it clearly from other conditions listed. Hyperpigmentation, melasma, and albinism involve pigmentation changes in the skin but do not involve an accelerated process driven by the immune system in the same manner that psoriasis does. Instead, they are related to pigment production or deficiency, rather than an immune response causing skin cell growth.
