Solution

The correct option is B Artificial acquired passive immunity
Artificially acquired passive immunity is a short-term immunization which is achieved by the transfer of antibodies. Antivenom is prepared by injecting into the domestic animal. On injecting the venom, the animal produces antivenom in response to the venom which is further extracted and purified. It is an immunoglobulin which is present in the blood.
So, the correct answer is option B.
