Antibody-mediated immunity is also known as
A
colonial selection
B
clonal selection
C
humoral immunity
D
cell-mediated immunity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Humoral immunity is also called antibody-mediated immunity. With assistance from helper T cells, B cells will differentiate into plasma B cells that can produce antibodies against a specific antigen. The humoral immune system deals with antigens from pathogens that are freely circulating, or outside the infected cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The major difference between humoral and cell-mediated immunity is that humoral immunity produces antigen-specific antibodies, whereas cell-mediated immunity does not. T lymphocytes, on the other hand, kill infected cells by triggering apoptosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of humoral immunity: active and passive.
