Detailed Solution

When the immune system recognizes the transplanted tissue as ‘foreign’ it mounts an immune response that can result in rejection of the transplanted tissue/organ. The rejection is mainly due to cell-mediated immune responses.
(2) Hormonal immune response and physiological immune response is not a recognized term in immunology.
The immune system does not have a specific hormonal response to transplanted tissues/organs.
(3) Innate immune system does not have a specific physiological response to transplanted tissues/organs.
(4) Autoimmune response involves the immune system attacking the body’s own tissues. Graft rejection is related to foreign tissues/organs.
