Solution

The correct option is C Human leucocyte antigens
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system or complex is a gene complex encoding the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins in humans. These cell-surface proteins are responsible for the regulation of the immune system in humans. Tissue typing is a group of procedures that determine the type of histocompatibility antigens on a person's cells or tissues. This procedure is typically used prior to transplantation of tissues or organs. In tissue typing HLA (human leucocyte antigen) are matched.
So, the correct answer is 'Human leucocyte antigens'.
