If a microbe were capable of preventing a phagosome from fusing with a lysosome, it means that

Possible options are:

a. the microbe would survive inside the phagocyte

b. the microbe would be expelled from the residual body

c. the microbe would be killed by the lysosome's enzymes

d. the microbe would cause the phagocyte to go through apoptosis

Answer is A

Explanation:

If microbe were capable of preventing a phagosome from fusing with a lysosomes it means microbes would survive inside phagocyte.The bacteria survive inside of phagosomes because they prevent the discharge of lysosomal contents into the phagosome environment. Specifically, phagolysosome formation is inhibited in the phagocyte.
