Solution

The correct option is C Plasma cells
Plasma cells, also known as plasma B cells or plasmocytes are white blood cells that secrete large volumes of antibodies. They are transported by the blood plasma and the lymphatic system. Plasma cells are originated in the bone marrow, B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules. Once released into the blood and lymph, these antibody molecules bind to the target antigen (foreign substance) and initiate its neutralization or destruction.
So, the correct answer is 'Plasma cells'.
