Solution

The correct option is A

BCG


BCG vaccine or Bacillus Calmette Guerin vaccine is used to prevent tuberculosis. BCG vaccine is administered soon after birth intradermally (applying within the layers of the skin). But once a person gets the disease, TB disease can only be cured by using special drugs that kill TB germs. It takes at least six to nine months of mediation to wipe them all out.
