Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of phagocytosis can be defined as engulfing the foreign particles and harmful organism so that they cannot harm the body.

When the body gets exposed to different types of foreign materials then there are chances that the body can come across different types of pathogens.

In this case the body response and the phagocytes engulf all the pathogens and organism so that the body is free from infections.
