Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Helper T cells, also known as CD4+ T cells, play a critical role in the immune response by activating and coordinating other immune cells, such as B cells and cytotoxic T cells. They do this by releasing cytokines and other signaling molecules that stimulate these cells to perform their functions.
