Solution

The correct answer is e. increased C reactive protein levels.

The acute phase response is a systemic reaction that occurs shortly after the onset of an infection, trauma, tissue injury, or inflammation. During this response, the liver increases the production of acute phase proteins, including C-reactive protein (CRP).

CRP levels in the blood rise rapidly in response to these conditions, making it a useful marker for inflammation and infection. Therefore, increased levels of CRP are an indicator of the acute phase response.
