Solution

The correct option is C Antibodies
Some lymphocytes migrate to the thymus and become T cells that circulate in the blood and are associated with the lymph nodes and spleen. B cells remain in the bone marrow and develop before moving into the circulatory and lymph systems. B cells produce antibodies. Lymph nodes are composed of T cells, B cells, dendritic cells and macrophages. The nodes drain fluid from most tissues. Antigens are filtered out of the lymph in the lymph node before returning the lymph to the circulation. The major function of B lymphocytes is to develop into antibody secreting plasma cells following stimulation by foreign antigens of bacteria, viruses and tumor cells.
