Answer to Question 1

C, D
Passive immunity prevents further damage when a disease is already present. Passive immunity provides the protection of antibodies made by someone else. Benefits of passive immunity are usually time limited as the antibodies provided only last for a specific period. Active artificial acquired immunity is achieved through immunizations.
