    The answer is "C) capable of being sacrificed" which is the best definition of the word "expendable". In the passage, Jerry has told Nancy about the danger of working with the Ebola virus in space, thus he also understands the danger of it. By understanding the danger of the situation, Jerry became ready to sacrifice himself.
