Solution

The correct option is A B-cell
B cells are one of the two types of lymphocytes (the others being T cells). All lymphocytes begin their development in the bone marrow. B cells are involved in humoral immunity; on encountering a foreign substance (antigen), the B lymphocyte differentiates into a plasma cell, which secretes immunoglobulin or antibodies against an antigen. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
