Explanation / Answer

Innate immunity is non specific and occurs as soon as an individual gets
exposed to microbes etc.
Adaptive immunity occurs once the body gets exposed to microbes. In this case
proteins are generated specifically to the microbe infected. This immunity
generates B cells which remember the infection known as memory cells.
Option d is the correct answer.
