Antigen Presenting Cells

Specialized immune cells that process and present antigens to T cells, initiating an immune response.

Macrophages

Large white blood cells that ingest and destroy pathogens, playing a crucial role in the body's immune response.

Dendritic Cells

Specialized immune cells that process antigen material and present it on the surface to other cells of the immune system, initiating an immune response.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The main antigen presenting cells (APCs) in the body are macrophages, B cells, and dendritic cells. These cells play a crucial role in the immune response by capturing antigens and presenting them on their surface to T cells, thus initiating the adaptive immune response.
