Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -White blood cells, also called leukocytes (LOO-kuh-sytes), play an important role in the immune system. Some types of white blood cells, called phagocytes (FAH-guh-sytes), chew up invading organisms. Others, called lymphocytes (LIM-fuh-sytes), help the body remember the invaders and destroy them.

Detailed explanation-2: -The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, makes special proteins (called antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antibodies are protective proteins produced by your immune system. They attach to antigens (foreign substances)-such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and toxins-and remove them from your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Plasma cells are the only answer option that is not involved with phagocytosis. Plasma cells are derived from B-cells and serve as the primary source of antibody production during the adaptive immune response.
