Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
(A) α-interferon — this matches (III) Destroying the tumor. In cancer treatment, patients are given biological response modifiers such as α-interferon. It activates the immune system and helps it destroy the tumour.
(B) AIDS — this matches (I) T-lymphocytes. HIV enters the helper T-lymphocytes, multiplies there and kills them. As their number falls, the person loses immunity.
(C) Lymphoid organ — this matches (IV) Spleen. The spleen is a large, bean-shaped secondary lymphoid organ. It holds lymphocytes and phagocytes and filters the blood, trapping blood-borne microbes.
(D) Allergy — this matches (II) IgE. In an allergy, the body makes antibodies of the IgE type against allergens such as pollen and dust.
