Solution

The correct option is D Hepatitis
Hepatitis B vaccine is a vaccine that prevents hepatitis B. It is mainly produced by yeast. The HB antigen producing gene is ligated to the plasmid to form a recombinant DNA. The recombinant DNA is inserted into the yeast cell. The recombinant molecule multiplies in the fermentation tank producing HB antigen. The HB antigen is purified and used as a vaccine.
