Solution

The correct option is B Preformed antibodies
Preformed antibodies are derived from the blood serum of previously infected people or animals, and are often administered in an antiserum to another person in order to provide immediate, passive immunization against fast-acting toxins or microbes, such as those in snakebites or tetanus infections.
So, the correct answer is option B.
