You probably need a lawyer, because that it means depends on what the rest of the document says and what it's a response to, but essentially the defendant is saying that the suit is invalid for a bunch of different reasons. At a guess I'd say there's a contract involved, and it seems likely that defense is going to argue that the contract is invalid for one or more of the reasons listed, all of which are technical and have I mentioned "see a lawyer"?

What is an affirmative defense in civil law and how does it differ from other types of defenses?

This type of defense differs from other defenses, like denial or justification, because it requires the defendant to prove their own version of events rather than simply refuting the plaintiff's allegations.
What defenses are available to the defendant?
The defenses are varied. There is the most simple defense of "I didn't do it". From that can flow alibi defenses or lack of proof defenses. The term defense is a bit of a misnomer in that legally the defendant does not have an obligation to prove anything. It is the government's obligation to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. To that end, the defense often brings up issues to raise doubt about the state's case, possibly providing an alternative theory with a different suspect. Then there is the issue of affirmative defenses such as self-defense or entrapment. For further discussion see the related links below.
