The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Cell-Mediated Immunity**: The question asks about the mechanism of cell-mediated immunity in the human body. This type of immunity is primarily concerned with the immune response that involves specific cells rather than antibodies. 2. **Identifying the Key Cells**: The options provided are thrombocytes, erythrocytes, T lymphocytes, and B lymphocytes. Each of these plays a different role in the body: - **Thrombocytes** (platelets) are involved in blood clotting. - **Erythrocytes** (red blood cells) are responsible for oxygen transport. - **B lymphocytes** are primarily involved in humoral immunity and produce antibodies. - **T lymphocytes** are crucial for cell-mediated immunity. 3. **Excluding Irrelevant Options**: - Thrombocytes and erythrocytes can be eliminated as they do not play a role in immune responses. - B lymphocytes are involved in humoral immunity, which is different from cell-mediated immunity. 4. **Focusing on T Lymphocytes**: T lymphocytes (T cells) are the cells responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They do not produce antibodies but play a vital role in activating other immune cells, including B lymphocytes, and directly attacking infected cells. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the above reasoning, the correct answer to the question is that cell-mediated immunity inside the human body is carried out by **T lymphocytes**. ---
