Solution

The correct option is C Cell-mediated immune response
T cytotoxic cells are a type of lymphocytes that play a major role in cell-mediated immune response.

The other type of immune response is humoral immune response which involves antibodies secreted by the B cells.

Therefore if T cytotoxic lymphocytes are removed from the body, cell-mediated immune response would be affected the most.
