Answer:

C

Explanation:

<em>Borrelia burgdorferi </em>is capable of antigenic variation, where it can change expression of antigens making it difficult for the immune system to identify it.

B. burdorferi also has manganese-containing enzymes instead of iron-containing enzymes and proteins like other pathogens, this helps evade the immune system defenses that protect the body by starving pathogens of iron.

There are also antiphagocytic proteins on the surface of the pathogen that protects them from being digested by the phagocytes.
