D. Macrophages


These cells, unlike Neutrophils, tend to go and settle in a tissue and kill pathogens as well as worn out cells. Natural killer cells are used for something similar - they kill cells that have been infected by a pathogen and are displaying the pathogen's antigen on their surface (antigen presentation) - this is how the Killer-T-cells are able to recognise which cells need to be destroyed.
