Solution

The correct option is D TB
  • Tuberculosis is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. Tuberculosis generally affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. The symptoms of active TB is a chronic cough with blood-containing sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss.

  • Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine is a vaccine primarily used against tuberculosis (TB). In most tuberculosis (TB) endemic countries, bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) is usually given around birth to prevent severe TB in infants.

  • Hence BCG vaccine provides protection against TB.

  • So, the correct answer is 'T B'.
