A
exocytosis
B
pinocytosis
C
phagocytosis
D
humoral immunity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phagocytosis is a conserved cellular process for ingesting and eliminating large (≥0.5 m) particles, including microorganisms, foreign substances, and apoptotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neutrophils and macrophages are major components of innate systems, playing central roles in inflammation responses to infections and tissue injury. If they are out of control, inflammation responses can cause the pathogenesis of a wide range of diseases, such as inflammatory disorders and autoimmune diseases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phagocytosis consists in recognition and ingestion of particles larger than 0.5 m into a plasma membrane derived vesicle, known as phagosome. Phagocytes can ingest microbial pathogens, but importantly also apoptotic cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -phagocytosis, process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles.
