all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Immunological memory is a unique property of the immune system as it can “store” information about a stimulus and can mount an effective response when the stimulus is encountered again. This response – a secondary immune response – is quicker and stronger than the primary response.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the primary response to infection, antibodies are secreted first from plasma cells. Upon re-exposure to the same pathogen, memory cells differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells that output a greater amount of antibody for a longer period of time.
