Solution

The correct option is D Histamine
Histamine is involved in the inflammatory response as well as it acts as a neurotransmitter. As a part of the immune response to foreign pathogens, histamine is released by the mast cells and basophil cells against the allergic reaction. It causes itching, sneezing, wheezing and swelling allergy symptoms.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
