Why wouldn’t the answer be A ?

Also, T helper cells stimulate B cells so they divide into plasma cells that produce antibodies, T helper cells don't have anything directly to do with antibodies afaik

because a pathogen can't have an antibody, P, on it's surface?

An antibody is an enzyme produced in response to an antigen on the surface of the pathogen.
The antigen is a surface protein that is present on the pathogen's surface, often with a function that aids its virulence.
T-helper cells play a key role in mediating the immune response, by producing immune factors that activate other immune cells.
B-lymphocytes manufacture antibodies which bind to the antigens, marking them for destruction by other immune cells including phagocytes.
Hope this helps.

But a lymphocyte can be attached on its surface for the phagocytes to take it in

Edit: sorry, my bad, didn't mean to say that lymphocytes engulf pathogens. they don't

No but why would a lymphocyte be attached to the surface of the pathogen? The lymphocyte (depends on which you're talking about) ENGULFS the pathogen or produces the antibodies (B lymphocytes) And let's suppose for a second that the pathogen did have a lymphocyte on it's surface, even then A would be wrong, because a lymphocyte is a white blood cell, it's not an antibody

Nope, the lymphocyte manufactures and releases antibodies which bind to the antigen, thus marking it for destruction by the phagocyte.

Yes precisely what I meant

It attaches to the surface protein (antigen). The antigen is attached to the surface of the pathogen, and the antibody attaches onto than. Therefore A cannot be correct, as the antibody does not attach directly to the surface of the pathogen.
Additionally, T-helper cells cannot produce antibodies, only signalling molecules to mediate the immune response.
Hope this clarifies the point you're finding confusing.

So basically its just a factor that helps to stimulate immune response ( ex,it triggers B lympcutye to secrete amtboies )

These surface proteins are recognised by the t-cells as 'foreign', as they are not normal human proteins.
The t-cells produce factors which activate the immune response.
The b-cells produce antibodies specific to the foreign antigens.
These bind to the antigens and mark the cells for destruction.
