Lymphocytes provide this type of immunity
A) Innate immunity
B) Antibody-mediated immunity
C) Cell-mediated immunity
D) Both antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity
E) Innate immunity, antibody-mediated immunity, and cell-mediated immunity
Lymphocytes
A type of white blood cell crucial for the body's immune response, involved in protecting the body against infections.
Antibody-Mediated Immunity
A type of immune response where B cells produce antibodies that target and neutralize foreign pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria.
Cell-Mediated Immunity
A form of immune response that does not involve antibodies, but rather involves the activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Lymphocytes, which include B cells and T cells, are central to both antibody-mediated (humoral) and cell-mediated immunity. B cells are responsible for producing antibodies, while T cells help in directly attacking infected cells and coordinating the immune response.
