The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statements about kidney transplants, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Even if a kidney transplant is proper, the recipient may need to take immuno-suppressants for a long time." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. After a kidney transplant, the recipient's immune system may recognize the new kidney as foreign and attack it. To prevent this, immuno-suppressant drugs are prescribed to help the body accept the transplanted organ. This treatment often continues for the lifetime of the recipient. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "The cell-mediated immune response is responsible for the graft rejection." - **Analysis**: This statement is also true. The cell-mediated immune response, primarily involving T-cells, plays a significant role in the rejection of transplanted organs (grafts). T-cells recognize the foreign antigens on the transplanted kidney and initiate an immune response against it. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "The B-lymphocytes are responsible for rejection of the graft." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. While B-lymphocytes are involved in the immune response, they primarily produce antibodies and are not the main players in graft rejection. The rejection process is mainly mediated by T-cells (cell-mediated immunity). 4. **Statement (iv)**: "The acceptance or rejection of a kidney transplant depends on specific interferons." - **Analysis**: This statement is also false. While interferons are involved in immune responses, the acceptance or rejection of a transplant is not primarily dependent on them. Instead, it is more about the recognition of foreign antigens by T-cells. ### Conclusion: The two correct statements regarding kidney transplants are: - **(i)**: Even if a kidney transplant is proper, the recipient may need to take immuno-suppressants for a long time. - **(ii)**: The cell-mediated immune response is responsible for the graft rejection. Thus, the correct answer is **(i) and (ii)**.
