Antibody-mediated immunity is also referred to as humoral immunity that is involved in the production of antibodies from plasma. The B cells will be the plasma cells with the aid of helper T cells. It will thereby produce antibodies that will fight a specific antigen.

Cell-mediated immunity involves the destruction of cells that are infected by T-cells. It releases cytokines to fight an antigen. Cytokines are made by lymphocytes.

Non-specific defense mechanisms are the skin, mucous membranes and other defense mechanisms.

Answer:

A. involves the production of antibodies from plasma cells

B. involves activation of specific lymphocytes to combat a particular foreign substance.
