Final answer:

Naive B cells synthesize and insert IgM antibodies into their plasma membranes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Naive B cells, which are immature B cells, synthesize and insert IgM antibodies into their plasma membranes. IgM antibodies are initially produced as monomers and act as surface receptors on naive B cells.
