Complete question:

A pathogenic bacterium has been engulfed by a phagocytic cell as part of the innate immune response. Which of the following illustrations best represents the response? Illustrations in the attached files.

Answer:

Graph C best represents the response  

Explanation:

Phagocytosis occurs when the phagocyte incorporates a new solid substance, such as a bacteria. Phagocytosis is a function of specialized immunological system cells. They are capable of removing strange bodies from the immune system as a first natural defense line. The phagocyte membrane invaginates and surrounds the strange body, which is traped and included in an endocytic vesicle called a phagosome. This vesicle often fusses a lysosome which releases its enzymes into the phagosome. These enzymes are in charge of digesting or destroying the strange content. After that, the produced wastes are removed from the cell.
