Solution

The correct option is C

Cell-mediated immune response


The correct option is C.

Explanation for correct option:

  1. Due to the cell-mediated immunological response mediated by T-lymphocytes, a patient's transplanted kidney may be rejected.
  2. The body is capable of distinguishing between "self" and “non-self.”
  3. As a result, tissue matching and blood type matching are required prior to any graft/transplant, and the patient must continue to take immunosuppressants for the rest of his or her life.

Final answer: A patient's grafted kidney may be rejected due to a cell-mediated immune response.
