but the answers given dont have Iga protease can you just assume that it was intended? Iga offers protection to mucosal surfaces from colonisation right?

If E is really IgA and not IgA protease I guess is C

I dont think it can be C.
A-protein as far as i remember is only on Staph, and it binds to the Fc protion of IgG to prevent complement activation.
The answer here has to be E, with the "protease" part implied.
