Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of immunity: Immunity is the body's ability to resist or eliminate potentially harmful foreign materials or abnormal cells.

Differentiate between active and passive immunity: Active immunity involves the production of antibodies by the immune system in response to the presence of an antigen, while passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source.

Identify the types of active immunity: Active immunity can be natural, as when a person is exposed to a pathogen and develops immunity, or artificial, as when a person is vaccinated.

Recognize the role of vaccination: Vaccination is a form of artificial active immunity where a person is exposed to a weakened or inactivated form of a pathogen to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies.

Apply the concept to the options given: Among the options, 'Vaccination with a live attenuated virus' is an example of artificial active immunity because it involves introducing a weakened form of the virus to stimulate the immune system to produce a protective response.
