Solution

The correct option is B BCG vaccine
BCG, or bacille calmette-guerin is a vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease. TB is a serious infection, which affects the lungs and sometimes other parts of the body, such as the bones, joints and kidneys.
DPT refers to a class of combination vaccines against three infectious diseases in humans, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus. Oral polio vaccine as name suggests protects against polio. Hence, option B is correct.
