The correct option is B Diapedesis
When a tissue is damaged or any infection occurs the phagocytes and other leucocytes move out of the circulatory system through the intact walls of the capillaries to the site of tissue injury or infection. This phenomenon is called diapedesis. Diapedesis is a part of the innate immune response.
So, the correct answer is 'Diapedesis'.
