question 9 of 10
lymphoma is a disease that prevents the lymph nodes from functioning properly. which would be a result someone having this disease?
a. they would be more likely to be harmed by common viruses.
b. they would have a better nonspecific immune response.
c. they would produce more lysozymes.
d. they would be less likely to catch a cold or flu.

Explanation:

Lymph nodes are part of the immune - system. When they don't function properly due to lymphoma, the body's ability to fight off pathogens like common viruses is weakened. Lysozymes are part of the innate immune system and not directly related to lymphoma - affected lymph nodes. A non - functioning lymph node system won't lead to a better non - specific immune response or less likelihood of catching cold/flu.

Answer:

A. They would be more likely to be harmed by common viruses.
