Solution
The correct option is C Chromosome 6
A group of genes that code for proteins found on the surfaces of
cells that help the immune system recognize foreign substances Major
histocompatibility (MHC) complex genes. In vertebrates, the major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes present on chromosome 6 code for a set
of cell surface proteins that are essential for the acquired immune
system to recognize foreign molecules, which determines histocompatibility.
So, the correct option is 'chromosome 6'.
