Answer #1

Solution:-

No, APCs shall fail to processing their presentation as phagocytosis is a must before they present the antigen at the surface. Phagocytosis is a process through which the APCs engulf a foreign body, digest it in phagosomes and present its broken parts on its surface(antigen presentation).

Like if it helps. Best of luck for exams.
