Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
The antigen presenting cells function by performing phagocytosis and then the antigenic particle is displayed on the surface of the cell membrane. This allows the stimulation of the B-cells to produce antibodies against it. The examples of antigen presenting cells are macrophages, Langerhans cells, dendritic cells and the B-cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
