Answer:

D) Non-specific immunity

Explanation:

The mucosa, also known as the tunic or mucous membrane, consists of a lining epithelium associated with a connective tissue called lamina propria. It is responsible for the internal lining of moist body cavities that maintain contact with the external environment such as the mouth, intestine, bladder, respiratory tract and urogenital tract. Because they are subject to microbial invasions, the mucous membranes in these regions present as non-specific immunity and have lymphocyte accumulations in the form of lymph nodes associated with diffuse lymphatic tissue. In some regions, such as the ileum, the lymphatic tissue is organized into well-structured organs called Meyer's tonsils and plaques.

Not sure if this is a tad late or not... But I'd be concerned for consistent right sided stomach tenderness or rebound. If it started recently, you could potentially have appendicitis or a burst appendix. You could also have some bowel issues affecting the right side or some sort of gallbladder issues like cholecystitis (however pain can be felt in the right shoulder at the same time). 

In other words, I recommend going to the emergency room... Appendicitis is a very serious and potentially dangerous concern.
