Solution

The correct option is B Tetanus
If the vaccine is made up of inactivated toxic compounds, called as toxoid vaccine e.g., tetanus and diphtheria. It is a preventive measure because they induce an immune response to the original toxin or increase the response to another antigen since the toxoid markers and toxin markers are preserved. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
