A
Memory B-Cells
B
Macrophages
C
Neutrophils
D
Eosinophils
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: -The adaptive immune system and antigen-specific receptor generation (TCR, antibodies) are responsible for adaptive immune memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -White blood cells are the key players in your immune system. They are made in your bone marrow and are part of the lymphatic system. White blood cells move through blood and tissue throughout your body, looking for foreign invaders (microbes) such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi.

Detailed explanation-4: -Once B-cells are activated, they become plasma cells that produce antibodies in response to an antigen. Or they become memory cells that remember the antigen so your immune system can quickly identify and fight it in the future.
