Solution

The correct option is B Antigen presenting cell.
Antigen presentation is a process in the body's immune system by which macrophages, dendritic cells and other cell types capture antigens, and enable their recognition by T-cells. These are done by antigen presenting cell which are a heterogeneous group of immune cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens complexed with major histocompatibility complex.
So, the correct answer is option B.
