The answer option that is not a property of the B cells is C, 'requires antigen presented with MHC'. B cells do not require MHC to recognize the antigen.

Explanation:

Major Histocompactibility Complex (MHC) is a genetic entity that encodes proteins that is necessary for the recognition of antigens by a set of immune system that is acquired such as the T cells. The MHC does this by exposing the antigens on the surface of the cell for easy recognition by the T cells. The B cells do not require such protein, it can recognize its antigens in their original form. All other options are accurate concerning B cells.
