The three lines of defense your body has against disease include:

  1. Physical and chemical defenses - which include barriers such as skin and mucous membranes.
  2. Inflammation - which is part of the second line of defense involving the body's response to injury or infection.
  3. Immune system - which is the third line of defense involving specialized cells and antibodies to target specific pathogens.

The option that does not belong to the three lines of defense is scarring. Scarring is a result of healing but is not a defense mechanism against disease.
