Final answer:

Both dT cells and B-1 B cells can self-renew in the periphery and do not need to be replenished from primary lymphoid tissues. Both dT cells and B-1 B cells respond to their antigens via high-affinity receptor responses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both statements A and D are true about dT cells and B-1 B cells.

  1. Statement A is true because both dT cells and B-1 B cells can self-renew in the periphery and do not need to be replenished from primary lymphoid tissues.
  2. Statement D is true because both dT cells and B-1 B cells respond to their antigens via high-affinity receptor responses.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: Both A and D.
