Solution
The correct option is A Live vaccine
A vaccine is a biological solution prepared by the live but weakened or killed pathogenic microorganism. On the administration of vaccine, our immune cells produce antibody that destroys any of these microorganisms that it later encounters. The polio virus enters through the mouth and ends up in the nervous system. It can rapidly lead to paralysis and even death. The OPV is a live but weakened form of the virus which makes the body produce antibodies against it without developing the disease.Thus, the correct answer is option A.
