The answer is mucus.

A nonspecific defense is a type of defense in which the protection is always the same. It doesn't matter what the invader is. Physical barriers like the skin, the mucus secreated, protects us against invasion of microorganisms. The other options are specific defenses for a certain type of invador and will only work against them.
