Why innate immunity is said as first line body defense?
A
Present before any exposure to pathogens
B
Effective from the time of birth
C
Largely non specific, responding to a broad range of microbes
D
Develops only after exposure to abnormal body cells
E
Highly specific
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Innate immune responses are not specific to a particular pathogen in the way that the adaptive immune responses are. They depend on a group of proteins and phagocytic cells that recognize conserved features of pathogens and become quickly activated to help destroy invaders.

Detailed explanation-2: -Physical barrier The innate immune system provides the first line of defense, which is divided broadly into two categories – physical/chemical barriers and nonspecific resistance.

Detailed explanation-3: -The macrophages and neutrophils of the innate immune system provide a first line of defense against many common microorganisms and are essential for the control of common bacterial infections.
