Vaccination provides which type of immunity? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Vaccination provides which type of immunity?
A. Artificial passive immunity
B. Natural active immunity
C. Natural passive immunity
D. Artificial active immunity
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Vaccination involves the introduction of a weakened, killed, or partial pathogen (antigen) into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce its own antibodies and memory cells without causing the disease. Since the body actively produces the immune response due to an artificial stimulus, it is called artificial active immunity.
