The immunity provided by the T lymphocytes, effective against fungi, parasites, intracellular viral infections, cancer cells, and foreign tissue implants, is known as ____
A
humoral immunity
B
lymphatic immunity
C
cellular immunity
D
immunosuppresive immunity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The T and B lymphocytes (T and B Cells) are involved in the acquired or antigen-specific immune response given that they are the only cells in the organism able to recognize and respond specifically to each antigenic epitope.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytotoxic T cells are powerful agents of cellular immunity.

Detailed explanation-3: -B cells. B cells (sometimes called B-lymphocytes and often named on lab reports as CD19 or CD20 cells) are specialized cells of the immune system whose major function is to produce antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins or gamma-globulins). B cells develop in the bone marrow from stem cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -T cells regulate the activities cells participating in immune responses. They provide help for antibody production by B cells, and they are also the effectors of antigen-specific cell-mediated immunity (CMI).
