Answer 1

There are different types of immunity. The passive immunity is considered as the transfer of the humoral immunity. This can be done by providing the individual with the ready-made antibodies.

This antibody provides protection against the infectious disease by stimulating the memory cells to activate the B cells to produce antibodies.
