A.

if due to some reason B and T - lymphocytes are damaged, the body will not produce antibodies against a pathogen

The primary and secondary immune responses are carried out with the help of two special types of lymphocytes present in our blood, i.e, B - lymphocytes and T- lymphocytes, The B- lymphocytes produce an array ( a range) of proteins in response to pathogens into our blood to fight with them. These proteins are called antibodies. The T- cells themselves do not secrete antibodies but the help B- cells to produce them.
