D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a T-cell mediated skin inflammation caused by repeated skin exposure to contact allergens. This review summarizes current knowledge on the immunology of ACD. Different phases in ACD are distinguished, i.e. sensitization, elicitation and resolution phases.

Detailed explanation-2: -TReg cells have a key role in promoting and maintaining tolerance to allergens by regulating both innate and adaptive allergen-triggered immune response. Allergic diseases are associated with a failure to develop tolerance towards a specific allergen leading to the emergence of a pathogenic Th2 immune response.

Detailed explanation-3: -Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease predominantly mediated by T helper cells.
