The correct option is B Artificially acquired passive immunity

- Naturally acquired passive immunity occurs during pregnancy, in which certain antibodies are passed from the maternal to the fetal bloodstream.
- Artificially acquired passive immunity is a short-term immunization by the injection of antibodies, such as gamma globulin, that is not produced by the recipient's cells.
- When an anti-venin is given, it is a form of passive immunity, which is a short-term immunization given by injection.
