Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural active immunity is the type of immunity developed after a person is exposed to an infectious agent and produces their antibodies to fight off the infection. In this case, the person who had mumps developed immunity against the virus and is protected from getting the disease again.

Answer: D
 Artificial passive immunity involves administering ready-made antibodies to an individual to protect them against an infectious agent. An example of this would be administering immune globulin to a person who has been exposed to a virus like hepatitis B to prevent infection.
