Solution
The correct option is
D
Both A and B
An epitope is also known as the antigenic determinant.
It is the part of an antigen that is recognized by the immune system, specifically by antibodies, B cells, or T cells.
For example, the epitope is the specific piece of the antigen to which an antibody binds.
The part of an antibody that binds to the epitope is called a paratope.
Hence, Antigen sites recognised by antibodies and T- or B-cells are Epitopes and Antigen determinants.
So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
