The correct answer is (a) Immunotherapy.
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are laboratory-produced antibodies designed to target specific antigens, such as proteins or receptors, on the surface of cells. They are used to treat various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.
Immunotherapy with mAbs works by:
1. Targeting specific cells or proteins
2. Blocking or activating receptors
3. Stimulating an immune response
4. Delivering toxins or drugs directly to target cells
