Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
B-lymphocytes convert to ____ and then produce or become ____, which oversee humoral immunity.
A
plasma cells; t-lymphocytes
B
t-lymphocytes; plasma cells
C
plasma cells; antibodies
D
plasma cells; antigens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after the receptors of the precursor B cell. Once released into the blood and lymph, these antibody molecules bind to the target antigen (foreign substance) and initiate its neutralization or destruction.

Detailed explanation-2: -B lymphocytes or B cells produce antibodies involved in humoral immunity. B cells are produced in the bone marrow, where the initial stages of maturation occur, and travel to the spleen for final steps of maturation into naïve mature B cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plasma cells are differentiated B-lymphocyte white blood cells capable of secreting immunoglobulin or antibodies. These cells play a significant role in the adaptive immune response, namely, being the main cells responsible for humoral immunity.

Detailed explanation-4: -B-cells protect you from infection by making proteins called antibodies. B-cells are a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. When your immune system detects antigens-markers that indicate a threat like a bacteria or virus has entered your body-your B-cells produce antibodies to fight the invader.
