Answer

(c) Outer membrane divides/dies; neurotoxins; enterotoxins

Endotoxins are associated with Gram-negative bacteria and are part of their cell outer membranes, which are released when the cell divides/dies. Exotoxins are produced and released by Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria and are called neurotoxins if they affect the nervous system and enterotoxins if they affect the digestive system.
