Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary function of each body system listed in the options.
The Immune System is responsible for defending the body against pathogens and disease through various mechanisms, including the production of antibodies and the activation of immune cells.
The Digestive System is primarily involved in breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste, not directly in disease protection.
The Nervous System is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body to coordinate actions and responses, but it does not directly protect against disease.
