Bacteria have different phage resistance mechanisms, such as spontaneous mutations, the CRISPR-Cas system.

Spontaneous mutations are the main mechanisms leading to phage resistance by altering the structure of bacterial wall components that act as phage receptors. These include lipopolysaccharides (LPS), outer membrane proteins, cell wall teichoic acids, capsules, and other bacterial components.

Answer:

A. Activated B - cells divide to form memory cells.

This is done because if we get infected by the virus, our body cells (WBC) will remember that how they killed the first entered virus (the dead version) and it will be easy for them to kill the active virus as they know the antibodies which were formed to kill the inactive virus.
