Solution

The correct option is C Chemotaxis
Chemotaxis is the movement of an organism in response to a chemical stimulus. Neutrophils are the body's first line of defense against bacterial infections. After leaving nearby blood vessels, these cells recognize chemicals produced by bacteria in a cut or scratch and migrate toward the area by the process of chemotaxis.
