Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Tetanus is immunised by addministering perfomed antibodies. In passive immunity, the antibodies are produced in some other organisms, e.g., horse in response to the given antigen.
These preformed antibodies are then injected into the human body at the time of need by the process known as inoculation e.g., persons infected by tetanus, rabies, Salmonella and snake venom are given the sufficient amount of performed antibodies, so that they can survive.
