Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Immune system of human beings responds to the antigen specifically and non specifically.

Non specific response consists of some physical and chemical barriers but in case of specific response, antibodies are produced specifically for the antibodies.

The T- cell and B- cells of the body works by coordinating between them, so if T-cell will not tend to produce cytokines, then B-cells of the body would not present antigens, as they work in coordination.

So, the correct answer is option B
