The correct option is C IgM IgM - It is the first immunoglobulin to be secreted in response to an antigen. It is temporary and disappears within days or weeks. IgG - It appears after IgM and usually persists for the long duration of time, in some instances, life long. IgE - It is associated with an allergic response like asthma. IgA - It is present in the mucosal linings of internal organs like the intestines.
