Jaylene Buck · Answer 1

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The adaptive immune is characterized by immunological memory, specificity, and self nonself recognition. These cells are involved in lymphocytes that fight against the specific antigen.

T cells tend to be more severely affected than the B cells by the primary immunodeficiencies however both are the major components of the adaptive immune system.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
