Answer:

The correct answer is option b. phosphorylcholine.

Explanation:

Endocytosis of Streptococcus pneumoniae by different body cells is triggered by the Phosphorylcholine. Phosphoorylcholine is an antigenic cell-surface component present on many pathogenic bacteria and commensals such as Streptococcus pneumoniae.

The autoantibodies that present in the bodies are due to phosphorylcholine that is created by CD8+ and B cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option b. phosphorylcholine
