The Figure Below Shows the ________ Pathway

Question

The figure below shows the ________ pathway. 
A) oxidative burst 
B) interferon 
C) defensins 
D) alternative complement 
E) complement inflammation

Accepted Answer

The figure shows the alternative complement pathway, as it starts with the activation of C3 through a different mechanism than the classical or lectin pathway. The activation of C3 leads to the formation of the C3 convertase, which ultimately results in the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC).
