Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -B lymphocytes produce antibodies-proteins (gamma globulins) that recognize foreign substances (antigen) and attach themselves to them.
Detailed explanation-2: -IgM immunoglobulins are produced by plasma cells as part of the body’s adaptive humoral immune response against a foreign pathogen. Resting mature yet naive, B lymphocytes express IgM as a transmembrane antigen receptor that functions as part of the B-cell receptor (BCR).
