kogti [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>c.pinocytosis – liquids secreted from the cell </em>

Explanation:

The components are not secreted from the cell but are uptaken into the cell. This internalization process is characterized by the formation of an invagination of the cell membrane where then is formed a vesicle surrounding the component to be uptaken.
