Final answer:

Enhanced presentation of APCs to T cells is responsible for improving the immune system's response.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mechanism responsible for improving the immune system's response is enhanced presentation of APCs to T cells.

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) display antigens via major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules to complementary naïve T cells. This interaction triggers the differentiation and proliferation of T cells, leading to the development of T helper cells (TH) and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).
