Cell-mediated immunity is an immune response that involves the activation of phagocytes, natural killer cells (NK), antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen. In type IV hypersensitivity reactions, CD4+ helper T cells recognize antigen in a complex with major histocompatibility complex class II on macrophages. Thus the correct answer is option A.
