Explanation
Roles of T- and B-Lymphocytes in Immunity Steps:
- T-lymphocytes mediate cell-mediated immunity by directly attacking infected cells.
- B-lymphocytes produce antibodies for humoral immunity against extracellular pathogens.
- The correct row pairs T-lymphocytes with cell-mediated and B-lymphocytes with humoral immunity.
- Option A matches this standard immunological distinction.
Why A is correct:
- T-lymphocytes handle cell-mediated responses, while B-lymphocytes drive humoral responses, as defined in immunology.
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Incorrectly assigns T-lymphocytes to both, ignoring B-cell antibody role.
- C: Wrongly pairs B-lymphocytes with cell-mediated, which requires T-cells.
- D: Falsely attributes humoral immunity to B-lymphocytes twice, omitting T-cell function.
Final answer: A
