Solution

The correct option is A Histamine
Histamine is a chemical which occurs naturally in certain foods. This is also one of the chemicals that is released in the body as part of an allergic reaction, causing itching, sneezing, wheezing and swelling. In type I hypersensitivity, the primary cellular component is the mast cell or the basophil, which releases histamine.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
