Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

To match each disease with its correct type of vaccine, let’s analyze the information:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is typically prevented by the BCG vaccine, which uses a harmless form of bacteria (Mycobacterium bovis).
  • Whooping cough (pertussis) is prevented by the DTP vaccine, which includes killed bacteria for the pertussis component.
  • Diphtheria is prevented by the DTP vaccine, which includes an inactivated toxin (toxoid) for the diphtheria component.
  • Polio is prevented by the polio vaccine, which can be either inactivated (killed virus) or live attenuated (harmless virus).

Now, let’s match them:

A. Tuberculosis - 4. Harmless bacteria B. Whooping cough - 3. Killed bacteria C. Diphtheria - 2. Inactivated toxin D. Polio - 1. Harmless virus
