The right answer is A.

The main purpose of vaccines is to induce the production by the body of antibodies, natural biological agents of defense of the body vis-à-vis identified pathogenic elements. A vaccine is therefore specific to one disease but not to another. This production of antibodies gradually decreases in a more or less long time, thus fixing the duration of effectiveness of the vaccine. It is measurable and this measure can be used in some cases to know if the subject is vaccinated effectively (hepatitis B vaccine and anti-tetanus in particular).

The immune defenses thus "stimulated" by the vaccine prevent an attack of the pathogen for a period that may vary from one vaccine to another. This avoids the development of an infectious disease at the level of the individual and, in the case of contagious disease and mass vaccination, at the level of a population.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Heart is the main pumping organ of the body. The human heart is divided into four chambers that are right atria, right ventricles, left atria and left ventricles.

The left and right ventricles can easily be distinguished on the basis of their thickness. The right ventricle is less thicker than left ventricle. The thickness of right ventricle is 9mm whereas the thickness of left ventricle is around 40mm.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
