Solution

The correct option is C Lymphocytes
Antibodies are produced by specialized white blood cells called B lymphocytes/ B-cells. When an antigen binds to the B-cell surface, it stimulates the B cell to divide and mature into a group of identical cells called a clone. The mature B cells,called plasma cells, secrete millions of antibodies into the bloodstream and lymphatic system. Hence antibodies are secreted from lymphocytes.
So, the correct answer is 'Lymphocytes'.
