Solution

The statement "Body’s immunity against pathogens" entails an emergent property. An emergent property is a characteristic that is not evident in the system's individual components but emerges when those components interact. In this case, the body's immunity against pathogens is not a property of any single cell or organ, but emerges from the interaction of various cells, organs, and systems in the body. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
