Answer:

The correct option is C: antigen-binding sites

Step-by-step explanation:

The antibody is shaped much like the letter Y in the English alphabet. It has two antigen binding sites that are identical in nature. The specificity of these sites is determined by the amino acid sequence that makes it up. Antibodies are complementary to these antigen binding sites, and the antibodies have an incredible ability to recognize a great variety of antigens.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
