Answer 2

Explanation:

☑️ Complement was discovered many years ago as a heat-labile component of normal plasma that augments the opsonization of bacteria by antibodies and allows antibodies to kill some bacteria.

This activity was said to ‘complement’ the antibacterial activity of antibody, hence the name. Although first discovered as an effector arm of the antibody response, complement can also be activated early in infection in the absence of antibodies.

Indeed, it now seems clear that complement first evolved as part of the innate immune system, where it still plays an important role
