Detailed explanation-1: -(D) Killer T-cells – They are a part of acquired immunity. They are involved in the body’s third line of defence. And, hence they are not a part of non-specific defence. Note:It is important to remember the different types of plant, their characteristic features and examples.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nonspecific defenses include anatomic barriers, inhibitors, phagocytosis, fever, inflammation, and IFN.

Detailed explanation-3: -Non-specific antibody binding occurs when an antibody binds to a cell that does not have an epitope specifically for that antibody. There are several reasons for non-specific antibody binding. The most common cause is an excess of antibody.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phagocytes are the component of non-specific immune response and kill the pathogens that invade the body. Phagocyte cell engulfs the pathogen like bacteria or other small cells and digests them e.g., macrophage cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Antibodies are the component which doesn’t participate in innate immunity.
