Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -TH2 cells initiate the humoral immune response by activating naive antigen-specific B cells to produce IgM antibodies.
Detailed explanation-2: -T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. B cells, which mature in the bone marrow, are responsible for antibody-mediated immunity. The cell-mediated response begins when a pathogen is engulfed by an antigen-presenting cell, in this case a macrophage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adaptive immune responses are carried out by white blood cells called lymphocytes.
