Explanation / Answer

1) Neither A or B - Natural immunity - Naturally acquired immunity is when the organism has antibodies without previously encountering an antigen. Species immunity is when a whole species is immune against a pathogen that can affect another species. Racial immunity is when a whole race within a species can be affected by a pathogen that cannot affect another race of the same species.
