D
It produces antibodies to destroy pathogens for protection purposes.

Explanation

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information using electrochemical signals. These signals let the body detect and respond to stimuli, so the correct choice is “It generates electrochemical signals so that the body can react to stimuli.” Oxygen delivery, digestion, and antibody production are performed by other cells or body systems.
