The answer is the first one: Degranulation.

Explanation for each option:

  • Degranulation: This is the correct term. It refers to the process by which neutrophils release the contents of their granules, including lysosomal enzymes, into the extracellular space. This is a key mechanism in the immune response, allowing neutrophils to attack pathogens.

  • Dehiscence: This term is generally used in a medical context to describe the splitting or bursting open of a wound or surgical incision. It is not related to the release of lysosomal contents by neutrophils.

  • Denaturation: This term refers to the structural alteration of proteins, typically due to heat or chemical exposure, which results in the loss of their biological function. It is not related to the process of exocytosis in neutrophils.

  • Decompensation: This term is used in medicine to describe the failure of an organ or system to maintain normal function, often due to disease or stress. It is not related to the exocytosis of lysosomal contents by neutrophils.

In summary, the process of exocytosis of lysosomal contents by neutrophils is called degranulation.
