Solution

The correct option is C build up a defence against smallpox germs
Option C is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'Many doctors flatly refused to believe Jenner when he announced that he had found a preventive against smallpox.'
There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A, B, and D are the right answers.
Hence, these are incorrect.
