Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytotoxic T cells are a type of white blood cell that are able to recognize and destroy cells that are infected with viruses or have become cancerous. They do this by releasing toxic substances that cause the targeted cells to die. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as cytotoxic T cells are specifically designed to target and destroy cancer cells and virus-containing cells. They do not target other T cells or all antigen-bearing cells.
