A
neutralization
B
activation
C
opsonization
D
digestion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neutralizing antibodies are responsible for blocking the entry of a pathogen into a cell so that it is firstly unable to infect healthy cells, and secondly, it is unable to replicate and cause severe infection.

Detailed explanation-2: -neutralization: In the immunological sense refers to the ability of antibodies to block the site(s) on bacteria or viruses that they use to enter their target cell. One example of this within biology is a neutralizing antibody. virion: A single individual particle of a virus (the viral equivalent of a cell).

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the Difference Between Opsonization and Neutralization? Opsonization is the process of removing pathogens by marking with the opsonins while neutralization is the process of removing the effect of an antigen by binding with a neutralizing antibody.

Detailed explanation-4: -A neutralization reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which an acid and base quantitatively react together to form a salt and water as products. In a neutralization reaction, there is a combination of H+ ions and OH– ions which form water.
