The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Passive immunization is that in which the preformed antibodies are injected inside the patient. It is used in the case when the patient's body is incapable of producing immune cells against the infectious agent. So, to protect against tetanus infection, patients are generally administered with the preformed antibodies.

So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
