Antibodies
D

Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction: White blood cells are blood cells that fight infection and disease. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. They can identify antigens (substances foreign to the body) and cause an immune response. There are three types of lymphocytes: T-cell, NK-cell, and B-cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Innate immune cells recognize certain molecules found on many pathogens. These cells also react to signaling molecules released by the body in response to infection. Through these actions, innate immune cells quickly begin fighting an infection.
