c. T helper cell
d. T cytotoxic cell
e. Macrophage

Expert Solution
Step 1

The immune system is associated with the body's defence mechanism that functions to resist the entry of pathogen or any foreign antigen inside the body. It could work against a specific pathogen or antigen like acquired immunity while the other immunity type termed as innate immunity is not specific and act as a component of natural body defence mechanism. The acquired immunity, which employs the use of B cells and T cells majorly, is further divided based on the immune cells involved in humoral and cell-mediated immunity.

Step 2
Function Cell
 Destroys bacteria T cytotoxic cell, NK cell (Natural Killer), Macrophage 
Involved in humoral immunity  B cell
Makes antibodies B cell
 Involved in cellular immunity  T cytotoxic cell, T helper cell
Involved in nonspecific defence NK cell (Natural Killer), Macrophage
