D
immunization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Opsonization is an immune process which uses opsonins to tag foreign pathogens for elimination by phagocytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -This mechanism of antibody-mediated increase in phagocytic efficacy is named opsonization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Important opsonins promoting efficient phagocytosis include antibody (IgG) molecules and complement components. These opsonins and their receptors are the best studied so far (Table 3).
