Solution

The correct option is C

It is part of acquired immunity


The first time a pathogen attacks the body, the immune system acts on it and is called primary response. The primary response is usually slow and as a result of the primary response, the immune system learns to ‘recognize’ this particular pathogen at the time of a subsequent encounter.
