Answer: Accelerates Immune Response in the event the antigen is present again.

Step-by-step explanation:

B-cells function is to memorize the characteristics of the antigen that activated their parent B cell during initial infection such that if the memory B cell later encounters the same antigen, it triggers an accelerated and robust secondary immune response.
