• Question 10 of 10 10. Question 1 points Which of the following statements about antibodies is correct? (a) Antibodies are produced by T cells. (b) Antibodies are primarily involved in cell-to-cell communication. (c) Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to foreign substances. (d) Antibodies are only effective against bacterial infections. Correct Ans: (c) Explanation: Option A is incorrect because antibodies are produced by B cells, not T cells. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity, while B cells are responsible for humoral immunity, which includes antibody production. Option B is incorrect because antibodies primarily function as defense molecules by recognizing and neutralizing foreign substances such as pathogens. While they can facilitate certain immune responses, they are not primarily involved in cell-to-cell communication. Option D is incorrect because antibodies can target various types of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. They are not restricted to bacterial infections. Option C is the correct answer because antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are specialized proteins produced by B cells in response to the presence of antigens (foreign substances). These antibodies bind to specific antigens, marking them for destruction by other immune cells or neutralizing their harmful effects. Refer: https://www.insightsonindia.com/2024/05/28/nephrotic-syndrome-2/ Incorrect Ans: (c) Explanation: Option A is incorrect because antibodies are produced by B cells, not T cells.

• Option A is incorrect because antibodies are produced by B cells, not T cells. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity, while B cells are responsible for humoral immunity, which includes antibody production.

• Option B is incorrect because antibodies primarily function as defense molecules by recognizing and neutralizing foreign substances such as pathogens. While they can facilitate certain immune responses, they are not primarily involved in cell-to-cell communication.

• Option D is incorrect because antibodies can target various types of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. They are not restricted to bacterial infections.

• Option C is the correct answer because antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are specialized proteins produced by B cells in response to the presence of antigens (foreign substances). These antibodies bind to specific antigens, marking them for destruction by other immune cells or neutralizing their harmful effects.
