Solution

The correct option is B Adaptive
Lymphocytes are highly specialised immune cells which are responsible for providing adaptive immunity. This type of immune response is slower and is specific, as the body analyses a particular pathogen and then generates specific antibodies against it. Innate or inherited immunity, on the other hand is the non-specific type of immunity and is present since birth. It provides the first line of defense against an invading pathogen.
