Solution

The correct option is B cell defence
RNAi takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defence. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA (infection by viruses or mobile genetic elements called transposons) molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing).
