b. They are produced by memory B cells

Explanation:

The rapid cell division in activated B cells is followed by the differentiation of daughter cells into the plasma cells. The plasma cells are the precursor for antibodies and memory B cells. The antibodies kill the antigens while memory B cells are long-lived cells.

Hence, antibodies are not produced by memory B cells but by plasma cells.
