Question

The artificial stimulation of resistance to diseases is called

• A. Embolism
• B. Immunisation
• C. Sterilisation
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Immunisation

Embolism is the blockage in the blood vessel due to a clot or obstruction by a foreign particle. It decreases the flow of the blood and causes fatal consequences.

Immunisation is the process of inoculating the live or killed virus which activates the immune response towards the harmful pathogen. The suspension of microorganisms is heated to remove the virulence so they do not cause the disease but antibodies are released in response to the pathogen.

Sterilization is the process by which harmful pathogenic microorganisms are killed to avoid contamination. Heating, fumigation, and chemical treatment are some of the important methods of sterilization.

So, the correct answer is option B.
