The right option is; to decrease antibody production to reduce the attacks on the new organ.

Immunosuppressants are medications that reduce the strength of the body's immune system in order to prevent it from rejecting a transplanted organ such as a kidney or heart. When an organ is transplanted in the body, the immune system will attack the organ as it would attack any foreign cell. The use of immunosuppressants in transplant surgeries decreases the strength of the immune system by reducing its antibody production in order to reduce its attacks on the new organ. This allows the transplanted organ to be healthy and safe from destruction.
