Understand the key terms given in the problem: Phagocytosis, Inflammation, Immune response, and Antigen presentation.
Recall that an immune reaction refers to the body's defense mechanism against foreign substances or pathogens.
Phagocytosis is a process where certain immune cells engulf and digest microbes, which is a part of the immune reaction but not the entire reaction itself.
Inflammation is a localized response to injury or infection, which is also part of the immune reaction but not synonymous with the whole immune reaction.
The term 'Immune response' broadly describes the entire process of recognizing and defending against pathogens, making it another term for an immune reaction.
