Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
The correct option is B
Achieved through the serum of other animals enriched in antibodies
Passive immunity is achieved by directly administering prepared active antibodies to fight pathogens.
Passive immunity is the act of transferring preformed antibodies from a host animal to a recipient animal, such as that animal’s progeny or even an animal of a different species.
The term “passive immunity” refers to immunity acquired through the antibody-rich serum of other animals.
It is a sort of defense based on antibodies produced in a different host.
