hello Gogeta,
who said alopecia areata is loclized condition,
in alopecia areata pathology autoimmunity either cell mediated or antibody against hair follicles. so it may involve one particular part of the body or may involve all the hair follicles of the body.
accordingly different name has been given for the condition.
Alopecia areata monolocularis-baldness in only one spot.
Alopecia areata multilocularis- baldness in more then one spot
Alopecia areata totalis - total loss of hari from the scalp.
Alopecia areata universalis - loss of all body hair.

The correct answer is A.
Alopecia areata is caused by an autoimmune attack on hair follicles. It has a wide range of clinical severity, with most cases involving a localized patch of hair (which regrows within 1 year in half of the patients). The hair that does regrow may be gray or depigmented. More severe cases can involve the entire scalp (alopecia totalis) or, as in this patient, the entire body surface (alopecia universalis). These more severe cases are less likely to resolve adequately. Treatment of alopecia areata is often unsuccessful, but topical steroids are typically tried.
Androgenic alopecia (choice B) is common male pattern baldness.
Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (choice C) can produce localized baldness.
Lichen planopilaris (choice D) can produce localized baldness.
Trichotillomania (choice E), also called traumatic alopecia, is alopecia due to trauma, such as hair pulling or tight braids.
