Solution

The correct option is C B-cells
  • Antibodies are also known as immunoglobulins which are a type of protein produced by the immune system in response to the entry of a foreign substance called an antigen into the body.
  • Antibodies are produced by specialized white blood cells or WBCs called B lymphocytes or B cells.
  • They recognize the foreign particle or the antigen and attaches to it to remove them from the body.
  • So, the correct answer is 'B-cells'.
