• C. a and b
• D. b and c

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

a and b

1) Even if a kidney transplant is proper, the recipient may need to immune suppressants for a long time because there will be graft rejection. These drugs help to prevent the recipient's immune system from attacking the donor's organ.

2) The rejection of transplanted tissue by the recipient's immune system is called graft rejection. The cell-mediated immune response is responsible for graft rejection.

So, the correct answer is 'a and b'.
