A pathogenic bacterium has been engulfed by a phagocytic cell as part of the nonspecific (innate) immune response. What would be the best response?

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.

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.

the answer is: trichonympha lives in the gut of termites and digests cellulose eaten by the termite.

this is an example of a symbiotic association of a protozoan with its mode of association.
