Answer:

Another name for lymphocytes that produce antibodies is B cells

Step-by-step explanation:

Another name for antibody producing lymphocytes is B cells.

Lymphocytes remain in the bone marrow, where they mature and become B cells. There they recognize cells and microorganisms foreign to the body, such as invading bacteria.

When they come into contact with a foreign protein (on the surface of bacteria, for example), B cells produce antibodies that "attach" to the surface of the foreign cell, causing its destruction.
