Solution

Active immunity refers to immunity due to the immune system’s response to a microorganism or a vaccine. The presence of bacteria in the body is recognized by antigen (the protein part of bacteria) which in turn activates the B lymphocytes to produce the antigen-specific antibodies through clonal expansion and thereby initiating the immune response. So, the correct sequence is active immunity, bacteria, antigen, lymphocytes, antibody".
