• A) Phosphorylation of NF-\(\kappa\)B, binding of NF-\(\kappa\)B to the promoter, activation of toll receptor, transcription of defense genes
• B) Binding of NF-\(\kappa\)B to the promoter, phosphorylation of NF-\(\kappa\)B, activation of toll receptor, transcription of defense genes
• C) Activation of toll receptor, phosphorylation of NF-\(\kappa\)B, binding of NF-\(\kappa\)B to the promoter, transcription of defense genes
• D) Activation of toll receptor, binding of NF-\(\kappa\)B to the promoter, phosphorylation of NF-\(\kappa\)B, transcription of defense genes
• E) Binding of NF-\(\kappa\)B to the promoter, activation of toll receptor, transcription of defense genes, phosphorylation of NF-\(\kappa\)B
