This is a specific response because in order to fight antigens, white blood cells, the most important cells of the immune system, must produce large, Y-shaped proteins known as antibodies to fight these invaders. This is a type of specific defense (as I have identified antibodies as specific defenses is the chart above).

Correct answer: Specific immune response

The specific immune response also called as adaptive or acquired immune system is a system that contains highly specialized, systemic cells that prevent the growth of pathogen or eliminate the pathogen out of the body.

When a body encounters an antigen, it starts the formation of a complex protein called the antibody, which is made specifically to a particular antigen.

The white blood cells make the specific immune response and are responsible for the production of the antibody that destroys the pathogen.
