• A. Vertebrates
• B. Invertebrates
• C. Plants
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Vertebrates

The adaptive immune system, also known as the acquired immune system is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens or prevent their growth. The acquired immune system is one of the two main immunity strategies found in vertebrates. Acquired immunity creates immunological memory after an initial response to a specific pathogen, and leads to an enhanced response to subsequent encounters with that pathogen.

So, the correct answer is 'Vertebrates'.
