c. interferon

d. histamine

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (c) interferon

Explanation: Interferon is a protein that prevents a healthy cell from being infected by a virus.

Serotonin: This is a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and not related to viral defense.

Colostrum: This is the first type of milk produced by mammals post-delivery and contains antibodies, but it doesn’t protect other cells from infections.

Histamine: This compound is involved in allergic reactions and inflammation but does not defend cells from viral attacks.
