Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Passive immunity refers to the transfer of antibodies from one individual to another. This can occur naturally, such as when a fetus acquires antibodies from its mother through the placenta, or artificially, such as when a person receives an injection of antibodies. Option A and E both refer to antibodies produced from a vaccine, which would be a form of active immunity, as the person's own immune system is generating the antibodies. Therefore, the correct choice is B, as it describes a situation where antibodies are being transferred from one individual to another.
