What is a chronic inflammatory disease that attacks joints and surrounding tissues, and is an intermittent disease with periods of remission?

Rheumatoid arthritis
Osteoporosis
Tendonitis
Meningitis

The correct answer is: Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is the only option that fits the description of a chronic inflammatory disease that affects joints and surrounding tissues. Osteoporosis is a condition that leads to weak and brittle bones, not joint inflammation. Tendonitis is inflammation of a specific tendon, not a general term for joint inflammation. Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord, not related to joint inflammation. Overall, rheumatoid arthritis is the only option that fits the given description.
