Question

A person is infected with a deadly microorganism. Choose the option that would provide the fastest immune response against the microbe in the affected person.

• A. Active immunization
• B. Passive immunization
• C. Immunization with recombinant DNA
• D. Antibiotic administration

Answer 1

The correct option is B Passive immunization

Active immunization is the process by which immune system of the body is stimulated when exposed to a particular infecting agent. Body produces antibodies against that infecting agent. Passive immunization is the direct administration of antibodies to fight against infecting agent. Immunization with recombinant DNA involves administration of particular DNA segment which produces antigen. Antibodies are then produced against that antigen. Antibiotic administration is done in order to fight against microorganism. If a person is infected with a deadly microorganism, passive immunization will provide the fastest immune response as in this antibodies are directly administered which will fight against deadly microbe.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
