Which of the following best describes an example of a specific immune response to infectious agents? (1 point)

a Antibodies bind to antigens on the infectious agents, which are then destroyed by lymphocytes.

b Phagocytes surround the infectious agents, and then engulf and destroy them.

c The infectious agents cause the body to release histamine, which causes inflammation and swelling.

d Sweat creates an acidic environment, which prevents reproduction of the infectious agents.

Answer 1

a is the best answer. That process is the natural process of the immune system. When a virus gets into your body, the immune system rapidly produces antibodies to bind and destroy the virus. Better still, after the virus is controlled, there are still antibodies that float around to kill any other similar virus that gets into your body.
