If the body did NOT produce IgE antibodies when exposed to peanuts, the most accurate answer would be:
B) No allergic reaction would occur.
IgE antibodies are primarily responsible for allergic reactions. Without them, the immune system would not recognize peanuts as a threat, and an allergic reaction would likely not take place.
