Solution

The correct option is D Langerhans cells
Langerhans cells are a special type of dendritic cell, present in the skin. Once activated, they migrate to the lymph nodes, where they interact with the T cells and the B cells to initiate and shape the adaptive immune response.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'Langerhans cells'.
