Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Active for longer time

Antigens are large molecules of proteins, present on the surface of the pathogen such as bacteria, fungi, virus and other foreign particles. When these harmful agents enter the body, it induces an immune response in the body for the production of antibodies. Antigenic proteins are more stable, active for longer period of time and cause less side effects.
