    d. IgE

    Explanation:

    The antibody isotype IgE is normally present in a very low amount in the blood. It generally makes only 0.1% of the total antibodies present in the blood. One of the functions of IgE antibodies is to provide protection against parasitic worms. Hence, if the person is supposed to have a parasitic infection, the tier should reflect higher levels of IgE antibodies.
