The correct option is B

Killed germs are used as a vaccine for typhoid, rabies etc.

Toxoid vaccines contain a toxin or chemical made by the bacteria or virus. They make you immune to the harmful effects of the infection, instead of to the infection itself. Toxoids are used for tetanus and diphtheria.

Live virus vaccines use the weakened (attenuated) form of the virus. The measles are treated using them.
