Solution

The correct option is B Epitopes
Antigen determinants of an antigen are those site of an antigen that is recognized by the antibodies of the immune system. These antigen determinant sites are called epitopes. Paratopes are the sites of antibodies that bind to the antigen determinant, so these are present on the antibody.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Epitopes'
