During viral infection the protein formed in host cells to resist is :
A
Interferon
B
Antitoxin
C
Antibody
D
Histone

Virus-infected cells secrete interferons, small proteins that protect neighbouring non-infected cells from further viral infection.
They are part of the innate (cytokine) barrier of immunity.
So the protein formed in host cells during viral infection is interferon.
