Solution

The correct option is B Lymphocytes
Antibodies or immunoglobulins are produced by B lymphocytes when antigens enter the body. Each antibody is produced by lymphocytes as a result of exposure to specific chemical substances called antigens, usually on the outside of an invading organism. This is called the antigen-antibody reaction. So-called B-cell lymphocytes produce the antibodies, in response to T-cells which participate more directly in recognizing the foreign cells, and chemically damaging them.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
