Solution

The correct option is B Skin epithelial cells
The innate immunity includes the barriers which get activated on the attack by the pathogen. Skin is a physical barrier, mucous membranes are the defense mechanisms and phagocytes are the cells which are part of innate immunity. The continuous epithelial cell layer in the skin serves as a barrier which prevents the entry of the microbes or other pathogens.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
