Solution

The correct option is B
Orally

Polio vaccine is given orally. The Oral polio vaccine (OPV) is now the standard way of vaccination against Polio in India. Earlier times polio vaccine used to be given in the form of injection and was called as Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). But due to cost constraints, now the preferred way of polio vaccination is OPV.
