Right choice is (c) It is always immunogenic

For explanation I would say: An antigen is any foreign molecule that generates a specific immune response. It is not always immunogenic (e.g. haptens). They are also called as immunogens and they possess epitopes on which a specific antibody molecule attaches itself.
