A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/13/O/N/21

Explanation
Secondary Immune Response Plateau
Steps:
- Person G shows primary response; infection on day 20 triggers new antibody rise starting around day 25-30.
- Person H shows secondary response from prior exposure; levels already high by day 20.
- Infection on day 20 boosts H's response minimally due to existing memory cells.
- Antibody levels in H remain elevated, stabilizing at the day 32 peak without further increase.
Why B is correct:
- Secondary responses maintain high antibody titers post-boost, per immunological memory principles, keeping H at day 32 levels.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: G produces antibodies via primary response activation.
- C: Secondary peaks match or exceed primaries, not lower.
- D: No antibodies produced on day 0 in G; response lags.
Final answer: B
