Best answer

Answer: 4. Attenuated pathogens

Key idea: Antivenom gives readymade antibodies (passive immunity), while polio drops contain attenuated (weakened) live pathogens.

These cannot cause disease but make the body build its own antibodies and memory cells (active immunity). Activated pathogens would cause disease.
