    vaccination?
    A Natural passive immunity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Artificial passive immunity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Natural active immunity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Artificial active immunity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Vaccination introduces a weakened or dead form of a pathogen into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce its own antibodies and memory cells without causing the disease. Since the body actively produces the immune response and it is introduced artificially (through a vaccine and not by natural infection), it is called artificial active immunity.
