Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Antibodies

Step-by-step explanation:

A Specific immune response or organ specific immune response are initiated by antigens within a particular organ. Pathogens carry specific antigens on their surfaces which are responded to by the body immune system by the production of cells to tackle the pathogen or the body produces antibodies which aid in the neutralization of the pathogen

Non specific immune response also known as innate immunity are the immune response that come with us from birth such that they form the initial or first line of defense to protect us from all antigens

Examples of non specific immune response are;

Stomach acid

Respiratory cilia

Increased mucus

Therefore, the correct option is A. Antibodies.
