Correct answer

A. dead neutrophils, damaged tissues and dead microbes

Step-by-step solution

Pus is a thick, yellowish or greenish opaque liquid produced in infected tissue, consisting of dead white blood cells (primarily neutrophils), cellular debris from damaged tissues, and dead microbes (bacteria or other pathogens). During an infection, neutrophils migrate to the site to engulf and destroy the pathogens. After phagocytosis, these neutrophils die and accumulate along with the destroyed tissue and microbes to form pus.
