A.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Cytotoxic T cells having heterozygous d-type/k-type class I MHC can lyse infected d-type cells and k-type cells or not.

Concept introduction: T cells and B cells are lymphocytes of the immune system which helps to elicit an immune response against an invading pathogen. T cells are antigen-presenting cells (APC). There are three types of T cells: Cytotoxic T cells, Helper T cells and memory T cells. There are other minor types of T cells like natural killer T cell, γδ T cells and many more. The main function of cytotoxic T cells represented as TC have T-cell receptors on the surface of their plasma membrane that has the capacity to recognize specific antigens that can be even nuclear proteins of the pathogen.
