Discussion
If you compare the B cell epitope against T cell epitope :
Answer: B
B cell epitopes are based more on the native conformation of the protein antigen (printed 'nature conformation').
Antibodies and B-cell receptors bind intact antigen directly, recognising its three-dimensional surface. Most B cell epitopes are conformational (discontinuous), formed by residues brought together by folding, and they are lost when the protein is denatured.
T cell epitopes are the reverse: short linear peptides from the primary sequence, produced by processing and recognised only when presented by MHC molecules. So the options citing primary sequence and MHC presentation describe T cell epitopes, and the last option is garbled.
