Quizplus · Accepted Answer

T-cell subpopulations that are specialized to combat intracellular pathogens include CD8 T-cells (cytotoxic T-cells), while CD4 T-cell subpopulations that are specialized to combat intracellular pathogens include TH1 cells. On the other hand, T-cell subpopulations that are specialized to combat extracellular pathogens include B-cells and CD4 T-cell subpopulations such as TH2 cells. Therefore, choice D is the best option as it correctly identifies the different types of pathogens each T-cell subpopulation is specialized to combat.
