Solution

The correct option is B Cell mediated immune response
The grafted kidney may be rejected in a patient due to the cell-mediated immune response that is mediated by T-lymphocytes.
The body is able to differentiate 'self' and 'non-self'.
Therefore, tissue matching, blood group matching are essential before undertaking any graft/transplant and even after this the patient has to take immunosuppressants all his/her life.
Hence, the Grafted kidney may be rejected in a patient due to Cell-mediated immune response.
So, the correct answer is 'Cell-mediated immune response'.
