Answer 1

C. Vaccine is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: Vaccine.

Explanation:

• An attenuated vaccine is a type of vaccine in which an inactive form of the pathogen is given to the body so that the body mounts an immune response against it, however, since the pathogen is inactive it will not cause any diseases.
• The purpose to do so is to evoke a memory response in the immune system so that whenever there is a subsequent exposure of the body to the same pathogen, the body is able to mount a more vigorous and faster immune response against it and hence, safeguards itself from the pathogen.
• An example is the polio vaccine.
