Which statement best describes the relationship between antigens and antibodies? Antigens cause the lymph nodes to decrease in size, and antibodies cause the lymph nodes to increase in size. Antibodies cause the production of antigens, and antigens attack antibodies. Antigens cause lymph to be clear, and antibodies cause lymph to become yellow. Antigens cause the production of antibodies, and antibodies attack antigens.

B lymphocytes (aka B-cells) are lymphocyte white blood cells. They release antibodies that are specifically made for each pathogen and attach themselves onto invading cells and flag it as a harmful cell so that T-cells can come and dispose of it.

If i'm wrong let me know. Hope this helps tho. :D

Answer:

Antigens cause the production of antibodies, and antibodies attack antigens. (D)

Explanation:

From some online research,

1)An antibody is specifically produced in response to an antigen. (Taken from Quizlet)

2)Antibodies bound to antigens on a pathogen's membrane may activate complement proteins to form a membrane attack complex (Taken from a Quizziz)

3)Antigens trigger your immune system to launch an antibody response. This means each antibody wages war against one target antigen. Once antibodies detect antigens, they bind and neutralize them. (Taken from Healthline)

Basically, this means antibodies are formed whenever antigens exist to counter-act it.
