Question

• B. Immunological rejection of foreign bodies
• C. Religious or ethnic considerations
• D. Lack of effective surgical techniques

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Immunological rejection of foreign bodies

Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ. The major problem in organ transplantation is transplant rejection, during which the body has an immune response to the transplanted organ(non-self), possibly leading to transplant failure and the need to immediately remove the organ from the recipient.

So, the correct answer is 'Immunological rejection of foreign bodies'.
