Germ cell is the cell that gives rise to the gametes of an organism. They can acquire the properties of stem cell, i.e., are immortal and are undifferentiated and can differentiate into other cells. On the other hand, kidney cell, plasma cell and brain cell are differentiated cells and they cannot differentiate into any other kind of cell and are mortal, i.e., they die after certain time.Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'Germ cell'.
