Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is the body’s temperature rises up when a pathogen enters the body?
A
Because pathogens desire the high temperature for survival. When the temperature increases, it makes it easier for them to survive in the body.
B
Because pathogens desire the body’s normal temperature for survival. When the temperature increases, it makes it challenging for them to survive in the body.
C
Because pathogens desire the body’s normal temperature for survival. When the temperature is at a normal level, it makes it challenging for them to survive in the body.

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The heat of fever augments the performance of immune cells, induces stress on pathogens and infected cells directly, and combines with other stressors to provide a nonspecific immune defense.

Detailed explanation-2: -(b) Histamine increases blood flow to the wound site, and increased vascular permeability allows fluid, proteins, phagocytes, and other immune cells to enter infected tissue. These events result in the swelling and reddening of the injured site, and the increased blood flow to the injured site causes it to feel warm.
