Which blood cells are primarily responsible for producing antibodies during adaptive immune responses?

A. Erythrocytes
B. Neutrophils
C. B-lymphocytes (Plasma cells)✓ Correct Answer
D. Platelets

💡 Solution & Explanation

B-lymphocytes mature into specialized plasma cells that synthesize and secrete large quantities of specific antibodies during the adaptive immune response. Erythrocytes function in oxygen transport, while neutrophils act primarily as phagocytic cells during acute inflammation. Immunology basics are frequently tested in general science sections to evaluate knowledge of human physiological defense mechanisms.
