Question 1:
B) All of the answers are correct.

A hypersensitivity reaction refers to an exaggerated or excessive immune response to a particular substance (allergen) that is harmless to most individuals. This immune response is characterized by an immune reaction that is too strong, causes harm to the host, and may involve inappropriate reactions to self antigens.

Question 2:

(E) Granule exocytosis.

During an immune response, when T cells recognize an antigen-presenting cell (APC) displaying a specific antigen, the T cell granules, which contain cytotoxic molecules such as perforin and granzymes, move to the point of contact between the T cell and the APC. This movement is known as granule exocytosis, and it plays a crucial role in the cytotoxic activity of T cells by allowing the release of these molecules to kill infected or abnormal cells.
