Answer: D. It is useful only when an antigen invades a body for the second time.

Explanation: Adaptive immunity, also referred to as acquired immunity, comes into play when innate immunity is breached. Adaptive immunity isn't very helpful in protecting your body when specific bacteria, virus, or any other microorganism enter your body for the first time. Its components function by learning the pathogen and then developing immunity against it. **(The adaptive immune system develops antibodies against the invaded pathogen after the first entry)**. If the same or similar pathogen enters the bloodstream again, your body will have a full-blown defense ready to destroy the pathogen. The mechanism of adaptive immunity is essentially concerned with your body's capability to recognize and destroy substances which it interprets as foreign and harmful... PF.

Rasek [7]

As most microbes reproduce asexually, "species" are defined by differences in their DNA sequences. when the genome of soil microbe a is analyzed, long stretches of genes from multiple species of other soil microbial species are discovered. This indicates that the microbes present in the soil underwent transformation and transfection. Transformation, shown in the image, is the process of the prokaryotic nucleus taking up the foreign DNA from other microbes present in the environment. Tranfection is like transformation but for the eukaryotic cells.
