Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bone marrow-derived and thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes somatically generate receptors during development. Unlike natural killer cells, B cells and T cells are unable to assess the quantity of MHC class I molecules on nucleated cells. Unlike innate immune system receptors, B- and T-lymphocyte somatic receptors are randomly generated and vary greatly between individuals. B- and T-lymphocytes receptors are formed prior to antigen stimulation.
