The clonal selection theory of antibody diversity says: A. B cell precursors randomly rearrange variable coding parts of antibody genes. Afterwards, antigen binds to a clone with specific membrane antibody, resulting in differentiation to antibody secreting plasma cells B. The antigen causes a nonspecific clone of B lymphcytes to proliferate and secrete antibody molecules capable of binding to any foreign antigen C. Antigen causes the growth of a clone of lymphocytes which then rearrange DNA, creating a gene coding for a specific antibody D. A clone of macrophages with specific receptor for antigen phagocytoses antigen, then rearranges DNA to generate specific antibody-coding genes
