Solution
The correct option is B Histamine and kinins An insect bite may induce an allergic response which results in local inflammation. Inflammation is mediated by chemicals such as histamine, serotonin and kinins. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a major role in reward-motivated behaviour. Interferons are antiviral proteins produced by virus-infected cells. Opsonins are molecules that coat bacteria to facilitate their phagocytosis. Histones are proteins involved in packaging DNA.
