A.   neutrophils are especially good a phagocytizing fungal cells.
B.   normal microbial flora (commensals) limit fungal growth by toxin (antimicrobial) production.
C.   normal microbial flora use available nutrients and colonization space on the host, which makes the host an inhospitable environment for fungal cells.
D.   PAMPs such as b-glucans, mannans, and chitin are recognized by innate immune cells.
