The correct answer is c) All of the choices are correct.

Explanation:

Neisseria gonorrhoeae corresponds to a gram-negative, aerobic and positive oxidase bacteria. It is seen in the microscope as diplococci. It causes gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease that can cause infections of the genitals, rectum and throat.

Before the generation of infection by this bacterium, an IgA 1 protease is generated which unfolds and inactivates the secretory IgA.

In noenatos, it can generate neonatal ophthalmia.

With respect to its structure, it does not have a capsule, and it is composed of fimbriae outside, which contributes to its capacity for infection.
