A
primary
B
secondary
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first contact that an organism has with a particular antigen will result in the production of effector T and B cells which are activated cells that defend against the pathogen. The production of these effector cells as a result of the first-time exposure is called a primary immune response.

Detailed explanation-2: -IgM is the first antibody produced in primary immune response.

Detailed explanation-3: -The induction of an adaptive immune response begins when a pathogen is ingested by an immature dendritic cell in the infected tissue. These specialized phagocytic cells are resident in most tissues and are relatively long-lived, turning over at a slow rate.
