Answer:

A. Interferons

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Wikipedia, "Interferons are a group of signaling proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several viruses. In a typical scenario, a virus-infected cell will release interferons causing nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses."
