    Explanation

    The correct answer is C.

    Candidates should be able to use the short description above the paragraph to determine that answer C is correct. Complement is an aspect of the immune system therefore A is incorrect; B is incorrect as the complement cascade shown in the diagram evidently does not inhibit or deactivate aspects of the immune system. D is incorrect as there is no evidence of specialised cells being activated in the diagram.
