Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Toxoid
Explanation
Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, whose harm comes from a powerful exotoxin.
A toxoid vaccine uses the inactivated toxin to trigger immunity, as in DTaP/Td vaccines.
Live-attenuated, viral vector and mRNA types are not used for diphtheria protection.
