Zybrea Knight · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Haptens are small molecules that can elicit an immune response only when attached to a larger carrier such as a protein; this response can include allergic reactions. They themselves are not allergenic unless they bind to a body's protein, at which point the immune system may recognize the complex as foreign.
