Monokines are:

sensitized macrophages
responsible for lymphokines
neutralized monocytes
chemicals released for macrophages

The correct answer is: chemicals released for macrophages

Monokines are chemicals released by macrophages. These substances play a key role in the immune response by communicating with other cells in the immune system to regulate inflammation, immunity, and other responses to pathogens. Monokines are not the same as sensitized macrophages (Choice A), responsible for lymphokines (Choice B), or neutralized monocytes (Choice C), which are all different concepts in immunology.
