As discussed in  Vaccination & Immunisation -

  •  Vaccination is a process by which specific antibodies are developed in a normal man to immune the body from specific disease caused due to pathogens.
  • A preparation of antigenic proteins of pathogen or inactivated/weakened pathogen (vaccine) are introduced into the body.
  • The antibodies produced in the body against these antigens would neutralize the pathogenic agents during actual infection. 
  • The vaccines also generate memory – B and T-cells that recognize the pathogen quickly on subsequent exposure and overwhelm the invaders with a massive production of antibodies.

Hence, the correct answer is option d.
