Solution

The correct option is D

Immunity


The ability of an organism to resist disease, either through the activities of specialised blood cells or antibodies produced by them is termed as immunity.
Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person's body.
Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-carrying organisms. There are two types of immunity: active and passive.
