What is the function of opsonization related to the complement cascade?
A)To tag pathogenic microorganisms for destruction by neutrophils and macrophages
B)To process pathogenic microorganisms so that activated lymphocytes can be created for acquired immunity
C)To destroy glycoprotein cell membranes of pathogenic microorganisms
