Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Interferons are chemicals that are secreted by cells that have been invaded by viruses and possibly by other stimuli. The interferons prevent viral replication and also suppress malignant cell replication and tumor growth. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect.
