Answer:

cytotoxin release

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of phagocytosis involves several steps in which a cell engulfs and internalizes foreign particles or microorganisms. Among the options provided, the exception is:

b. cytotoxin release

Cytotoxin release is not typically a part of the process of phagocytosis. Phagocytosis primarily involves adhesion (binding of the particle to the cell's surface), chemotaxis (movement towards the particle guided by chemical signals), engulfment (internalization of the particle within a phagosome), killing (degradation or neutralization of the engulfed particle), and elimination (removal of the waste material from the cell).
