Explanation
Classifying Immunity as Active/Passive and Natural/Artificial
Steps:
- Immunity types: active (body produces antibodies) vs. passive (antibodies received from external source).
- Subtypes: natural (via infection or maternal transfer) vs. artificial (via vaccine or injection).
- Label 1 shows antibody transfer without body production, indicating passive immunity.
- Labels 2 and 3 differentiate maternal transfer (natural) from injected antibodies (artificial).
Why D is correct:
- D matches passive for 1 (external antibodies), natural for 2 (maternal, e.g., breast milk), and artificial for 3 (medical injection, per immunology definitions).
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Incorrectly labels 1 as active (body must produce antibodies) and 3 as natural (3 involves intervention).
- B: Labels 1 as active, but 1 depicts passive transfer.
- C: Swaps 2 and 3, making 2 artificial (but 2 is natural maternal) and 3 natural (but 3 is injected).
Final answer: D
