Answer:

The correct answer is a. Inflammation and fever.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adaptive immunity is the memory based and specific immunity immunity which is also called acquired immunity. Antibodies, cell-mediated immunity, B lymphocytes and humoral immunity are the part of adaptive immune response.

Inflammation is not a part of adaptive immunity because it is not specific and is the part of innate immunity. When any injury or infection happens in the body innate immune cells like macrophages, mast cells, neutrophills reaches there to kills the pathogen.

Inflammation is primary and rapid response towards any injury and it's consequences include heat, pain, redness and swelling.
