Answer 1

The correct option is C Plasma cells

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.
