Correct Answer

Explanation

Cytotoxic T cells are a type of white blood cell that are part of the immune system. They are responsible for recognizing and destroying cells that are infected with viruses or other pathogens. They do this by inserting perforins into the target cell's membrane, which creates pores that allow toxic molecules to enter the cell and cause it to die.
