Explanation
The correct answer is Option B:the self-destruction of an immune cell.Apoptosis is a programmed process of cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms, helping to remove cells that are no longer needed or are a threat to the organism, like immune cells after they've served their purpose. Option A describes necrosis, which is uncontrolled cell death due to injury. Option C relates to the pathological cell changes in cancer. Option D describes muscle fiber damage, not cell death through apoptosis.
