During an infection, white blood cells travel to the infected site and phagocytize the pathogens. After phagocytosis, primary lysosomes fuse with the phagocytic vesicle to form a larger vesicle called a secondary lysosome. The purpose for this process is to:
A) export the intact secondary lysosome containing the pathogens from the cell
B) isolate the pathogens in an additional membrane to render them harmless
C) coat the pathogens in lipids to tag it for neutralization
D) degrade the pathogens with hydrolytic enzymes for later export from the cell
E) degrade the pathogens into components, which the cell recycles or uses as an energy source
