Explanation
Vaccination stimulates adaptive immunity Steps:
- Vaccination introduces antigens from pathogens to trigger immune response without causing disease.
- This activates B and T cells, producing memory cells for long-term protection.
- Effects include antibody production, cellular immunity, and prevention of infection spread.
- All listed effects (1: antigen recognition; 2: memory cell formation; 3: herd immunity contribution) align with immunological principles.
Why A is correct:
- A includes all three effects, matching vaccination's role in humoral and cellular immunity per immunology definitions.
Why the others are wrong:
- B omits 3, but vaccinations contribute to herd immunity by reducing transmission.
- C omits 2, but memory cells are essential for lasting protection.
- D omits 1, but antigen introduction is the primary mechanism.
Final answer: A
