Solution

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. Antibodies are secreted by B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system, mostly by differentiated B cells called plasma cells. Hence, an antibody is a compound formed in an organism for inhibiting the growth of another organism.
So, the correct answer is 'Antibody'.
