The correct option is C
Live, attenuated vaccine

There are two basic types of vaccines: live attenuated and inactivated. The characteristics of live and inactivated vaccines are different, and these characteristics determine how the vaccine is used. Live attenuated vaccines use live organisms that have been weakened so that they are avirulent, meaning they are unable to cause disease. Sabin vaccine is a live, attenuated vaccine.
