Solution

The correct option is B Virus
Interferons are a group of signaling proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, or tumour cells. They are a group of glycoproteins, produced by the immune system, that prevent viral replication in infected cells.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A and B.
