Answer: Adaptive immunity

Explanation:

The adaptive immunity is also known as acquired immunity. It is a sub system of the overall immunity.

It can defined as the immunity which is not present in the body when we are born. It develops in the body when it is exposed to the pathogens no matter it is natural or artificial.
