Vhich of the following is FALSE? O a. The complement system and inflammation are examples of innate immunity. O b. Autoimmune diseases are the result of an overactive immune response. Oc. The skin is an example of a nonspecific defense. O d. Specific defense mechanisms are typically the body's first line of defense. The immune defense system is able to distinguish self from non-self cells.
