Solution

The correct option is C Second generation vaccine
Second generation vaccines are the recombinant protein produced by the genetic engineering. It consists defined protein antigens (such as tetanus or diphtheria toxoid) or recombinant protein components (such as the hepatitis B surface antigen). These are able to generate helper T-cell and antibody responses, but not killer T cell responses.
Hence the correct option is C,.
