Answer 1

The correct option is B Antibody

An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that are used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Hence, an antibody is a compound formed in an organism for inhibiting the growth of another organism.

So, the correct answer is 'Antibody'.
