Question

if an individual gets a splinter, which of the following responses will take place? specific response allergic response nonspecific response

Explanation:

A splinter triggers the body's innate (nonspecific) immune response first. Nonspecific responses act against any foreign invader, like the splinter introducing pathogens or foreign material. Specific responses target specific antigens (not immediate for a splinter initially), and allergic responses are to allergens (not a splinter - related trigger here). So the correct response is nonspecific.

Answer:

C. Nonspecific response (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C as per the order: A. Specific response, B. Allergic response, C. Nonspecific response)
