Cell division being inhibited at the wound site is not a response of the immune system. Instead, it is a natural process that occurs during the healing process to prevent the cells from dividing uncontrollably and forming a tumor. A, B, and C are all immune responses that occur during the inflammatory phase of the healing process. Antibodies are produced as part of the adaptive immune response, phagocytes attack foreign cells, and the innate immune system triggers an inflammation response to help the wound heal.
