Phagocytes that try to engulf the bacteria are soon destroyed by enzymes produced by the bacteria.
 B cells are blocked from binding to the bacteria antigens because of enzymes secreted by the bacteria.
 Infection would not be able to destroy the bacteria.
 Plasma cells that would normally mark the bacteria for destruction are avoided by the bacteria.

This question is basically testing your knowledge about what each type of cell (phagocytes, B cells, plasma cells) does. If you know the general/basic function of each, this should be a piece of cake.
