Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about the body's ability to fight off a viral infection, which falls under the immune system's responsibilities. The immune system produces lymphocytes to fight off viruses, so option C is the correct answer. Option A (endocrine system producing corticosteroids) and option B (sympathetic nervous system producing catecholamines) are not directly related to fighting off viruses. Option D (immune system producing catecholamines) is also incorrect as the immune system does not produce catecholamines, which are hormones produced by the adrenal glands.
