Explanation
A. major histocompatibility complex: MHC (human leukocyte antigen, HLA) matching is critical because disparities trigger strong T-cell–mediated rejection responses.
B. antibody response: the recipient’s antibody response intensity matters clinically, but you don’t “match” antibody responses between donor and recipient; rather you try to match MHC and blood type.
C. blood type: blood type mismatches can cause hyperacute rejection and are important to consider, but MHC/HLA matching is the key determinant of long-term rejection risk.
D. sex and age: sex and age are not major determinants of graft compatibility; they are not the primary matching criteria used to reduce rejection risk.
