D) Fibroblasts

Accepted Answer

Lymphocytes, including T cells and B cells, are the primary cells involved in the defense against pathogens through immune responses. Other cell types, such as phagocytes and natural killer cells, also play important roles in innate immunity. Osteocytes are bone cells, erythrocytes are red blood cells, and fibroblasts are cells involved in tissue repair and collagen production.
