Answer 1

I think the answer would be white blood cells because the white blood cells are trying to fight the bacteria off. That’s what I think. Hope this helped

Answer 2

Answer: White blood cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The white blood cells are the cells present in the blood that are responsible for controlling the spread of infection.

• The white blood cells are produced by the bone marrow and, they circulate along with the blood throughout the body and combat the foreign agents and hence, provide immunity.

• Whenever there is an infection in the body, the count of WBCs in the blood increases because their production by the bone marrow increases in order to control the infection.
