Answer:
B) Coating of microbe to aid phagocyte recognition
Explanation:
Opsonization is the process and mechanism which targets the foreign body and helps in the recognition of the pathogen by the phagocytic cells such as the macrophages and dendritic cell.
The opsonization enhances the process of phagocytosis as the opsonin substances which could be the antibodies, proteins or other molecules which could be easily recognised by the phagocytic cells gets attached to the pathogen.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
Opsonization is the coating of a particle with proteins that facilitate phagocytosis of the particle by tissue macrophages and activated follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) as well as binding by receptors on peripheral blood cells
