Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -B lymphocytes or B cells produce antibodies involved in humoral immunity.
Detailed explanation-2: -B-lymphocytes form army of proteins called antibodies in response to pathogen in blood and are stimulated by antigen and T-helper cells. Therefore, B-lymphocytes provide humoral mediated immunity. T-lymphocytes provide cell mediated immunity. So, the correct option is ‘B-lymphocytes’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Humoral immunity is a form of adaptive immunity whereby B-lymphocytes and plasma cells produce antibodies against antigens and stimulate T-lymphocytes to attack them. These antibodies also stimulate the release of chemical mediators (e.g., interferon and complement) that enhance antigen destruction.
