Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Interferons are proteins produced by cells in response to viral infections.
They play a key role in the immune response by inhibiting viral replication and activating immune cells like natural killer cells.
These proteins signal neighboring cells to heighten their antiviral defenses.
