General ScienceBiology
- AAntibody
- BImmunity
- CCow
- DGuinea pig
Explanation
“Vaccine” derives from the Latin “vacca”, meaning cow. Edward Jenner coined “vaccination” after using cowpox (variolae vaccinae) material in 1796–98 to immunize against smallpox. It has nothing to do with antibodies, immunity in the abstract, or guinea pigs. Hence (C) cow is correct.
