Solution

The correct option is B class switching to IgG

The lag period in the primary antibody response is the time taken by the body's immune system to get itself adjusted to the infection. When the activated B cells face the specific signalling molecules, then the body's immune system switches to the IgG class.

Helper T cells become activated when antigen-presenting cells, such as macrophages, come to ingest infectious agents or foreign particles.

Class II MHC (major histocompatibility complex) mainly deals with the presentation of extracellular pathogens like bacteria that might affect wounds or blood.

The B-cell receptor (BCR) is an immunoglobulin molecule forming a type I transmembrane protein on the surface of B cells which binds to the soluble antigens.
