D
Antibodies
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies are protective proteins produced by your immune system. They attach to antigens (foreign substances)-such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and toxins-and remove them from your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the VH and VL domains are paired in the antibody molecule, the hypervariable loops from each domain are brought together, creating a single hypervariable site at the tip of each arm of the molecule. This is the binding site for antigen, the antigen-binding site or antibody combining site.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antibodies attach to a specific antigen and make it easier for the immune cells to destroy the antigen. T lymphocytes attack antigens directly and help control the immune response. They also release chemicals, known as cytokines, which control the entire immune response.
