Solution

The correct option is B IgE
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody that has been found only in mammals. IgE is synthesised by plasma cells. IgE has an essential role in type I hypersensitivity (allergy) which includes allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, and specific types of chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis.
So, the correct answer is 'IgE'.
