Solution

The correct option is D Interferon
Interferons are protein molecules. These proteins are released by the virus-infected cell as a response to the attack. Interferons belong to the class of proteins known as cytokines. These proteins are generally released by the leucocytes and the fibroblast cells. The interferons communicate with other cells and destroy the pathogens.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
