Vedclass · Answer

(C) The type of immunity where preformed antibodies or antitoxins are directly injected into the body is known as $Passive 	ext{ } Immunity$. In cases of $Tetanus$, the pathogen $(Clostridium 	ext{ } tetani)$ produces a potent toxin. If a person is injured and there is a risk of infection, immediate protection is required because the body does not have enough time to produce its own antibodies. Therefore, preformed antibodies (antitoxins) are injected to neutralize the toxins immediately. This is a classic example of $Passive 	ext{ } Immunization$.
