Based on the above information,which of the following is the most likely explanation for the effect of oxygen levels on production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs)?
A)Carbon dioxide buildup prevents formation of ROIs under low-oxygen conditions.
B)Under low-oxygen conditions,there is not enough oxygen to produce as many ROIs.
C)Phagocytic hemocytes are not as active when oxygen levels are low,so they cannot produce as many ROIs.
D)ROIs are less effective at killing cells under low-oxygen conditions,so phagocytic hemocytes do not produce as many.

The passage states that ROIs are produced by the phagocytic hemocytes when they encounter pathogens. It also mentions that ROIs are generated through the oxidative burst, which requires oxygen. Therefore, under low-oxygen conditions, there is not enough oxygen to produce as many ROIs. Option B is the best choice that aligns with this explanation.
