The correct answer is C. phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by surrounding healthy cells.
Apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, is a process where cells undergo controlled self-destruction. Unlike necrosis, which is uncontrolled cell death, apoptosis is a regulated process that:
– Maintains tissue homeostasis
– Eliminates damaged or unwanted cells
– Prevents inflammation
