Which type of cell will remember what the antigen looks like and produce a rapid secondary response?
A
Plasma B cells
B
Memory B cells
C
Plasma T cells
D
Memory T cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -B lymphocytes are the cells of the immune system that make antibodies to invading pathogens like viruses. They form memory cells that remember the same pathogen for faster antibody production in future infections.

Detailed explanation-2: -Instead, memory B cells are defined as long-lived and quiescent cells that are poised to quickly respond to antigen upon recall (2–5). Both memory B cells and antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) are the product of antigen activation and, most often, interaction with cognate T helper cells.
