Option A is the most appropriate response because it provides accurate information that enlarged lymph nodes can indicate an infection, which is a common reason for lymph node enlargement. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because not all lymph nodes should be easily palpable, the lymph system does not make antibiotics, and sometimes enlarged lymph nodes may be a normal finding.
