Which system protects the body from disease by developing immunities and destroying disease-causing toxins and bacteria?

  1. Circulatory

  2. Digestive

  3. Lymphatic/Immune

  4. Respiratory

The correct answer is: Circulatory

The correct answer is actually not A. The system that protects the body from disease by developing immunities and destroying disease-causing toxins and bacteria is the Lymphatic/Immune system (Choice C). This system includes a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that work together to defend the body against harmful pathogens. The lymphatic system produces white blood cells, such as lymphocytes, that help fight off infections and diseases. The circulatory system (Choice A) is responsible for the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.
