Answer:

Attach themselves to pathogens to flag them for destruction.

Step-by-step explanation:

B Cells (Lymphocytes) role is to produce "gamma globulins" called antibodies (immunoglobulins) that find pathogens, attach themselves to the pathogens (bacteria, viruses, chemicals, toxins, pollens, etcetera), marking them for destruction, ultimately eliminating them.
