ANS: D
Passive immunity is the temporary resistance that has been donated to the host through transfusions of plasma proteins, immunoglobulins, or antitoxins, or transplacentally from mother to neonate. Passive immunity lasts only as long as these substances remain in the bloodstream. Active immunity is when the body produces its own antibodies against an antigen, from either infection with the pathogen or introduction of the pathogen in a vaccine.
