The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Polymorphonuclear neutrophil, monocyte, NK cell and macrophage represent cellular barrier of innate immunity and interferon is a cytokine barrier. Cytokines are small protein hormones produced by lymphocytes (helper T-cells), fibroblasts endothelial cells and antigenpresenting cells.
