Question

which is an effect of a compromised immune system?
decreased antibody production
improved ability to fight disease
increased lymphocyte production
reduction in pathogens entering the body

Explanation:

A compromised immune system means the body's defense mechanisms are weakened. Antibodies are part of the immune response; a compromised system would likely lead to decreased antibody production. An improved ability to fight disease (second option) is the opposite of a compromised system. Increased lymphocyte production (third option) is not typical of a compromised system as lymphocytes are immune cells and a compromised system usually has issues with their function or production. A reduction in pathogens entering (fourth option) is related to physical barriers, not the immune system's compromise directly. So the correct effect is decreased antibody production.

Answer:

A. decreased antibody production
