Both statement I and statement II are correct .

Both statement I and statement II are incorrect .

Correct Answer:

Both statement I and statement II are correct .

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) -Both statement I and statement II are correct .

Statement I: An organ transplant patient is administered a regular dose of cyclosporin-A. Cyclosporin-A is commonly used in organ transplant patients to prevent organ rejection. It's administered regularly to suppress the immune system's response against the transplanted organ.

Statement II: Cyclosporin-A is an immunosuppressant agent. Cyclosporin-A is indeed an immunosuppressant drug. These drugs help to suppress the immune response and reduce the risk of rejection, allowing the transplanted organ to function properly in the recipient's body.Regular administration of cyclosporin-A helps to maintain the balance between suppressing the immune system enough to prevent rejection while still allowing the body to defend against other infections and diseases.
