There should only be one correct answer

Explanation / Answer

C1q and mannose binding lectin (MBL), a member of the collectin family of proteins, bind to apoptotic cells, and then stimulate the process of ingestion of these proteins by ligation on the surface of phagocytes of the multifunctional protein called calreticulin. This protein is bound to the CD91 protein.

Hence, the correct option is (B) Mannose binding lectin (MBL).
