Solution

The correct option is C Plasma cell
Plasma cells

Helper T cells get activated and release cytokines which in turn activate the naïve B cells to undergo clonal selection to produce plasma B cells and memory B cells.

Plasma B cells are also known as effector B cells which are short lived and produce soluble protein molecules called antibodies which identify and elicit an immune response against the antigen.

Final answer

(b) Plasma cells
