Read the following statements and choose the correct option 1.Active immunity is induced when the host's body produces antibodies in response to exposure to antigens. 2.Passive immunity involves the direct administration of ready-made antibodies to protect the body against foreign agents. 3.The antibodies in mother's milk, particularly in colostrum, are mainly of the IgM type and provide passive immunity to the newbo

Step-by-step solution

When a host is exposed to antigens, which may be in the form of living or dead microbes or other proteins, antibodies are produced in the host body. This type of immunity is called active immunity. Active immunity is slow and takes time to give its full effective response. Injecting the microbes deliberately during immunisation or infectious organisms gaining access into body during natural infection induce active immunity. When ready-made antibodies are directly given to protect the body against foreign agents, it
