Vedclass · Answer

(C) The Assertion is correct because a deep cut or wound contaminated with soil or rust can introduce $Clostridium$ $tetani$ spores into the body, necessitating anti-tetanus treatment to prevent the disease.The Reason is incorrect because anti-tetanus injections (like tetanus antitoxin) provide $passive$ $immunity$ by introducing preformed antibodies directly into the body, not active immunity. Active immunity is developed by the body's own immune system in response to antigens (e.g., through vaccination with toxoids).

$A$. Physical barrier	$i$. Skin
$B$. Physiological barrier	$ii$. Interferons
$C$. Cellular barrier	$iii$. Mucus coating
$D$. Cytokine barrier	$iv$. Saliva in mouth

$A$: A person who has received a cut accidentally and is bleeding needs to be given anti-tetanus treatment.
$R$: Anti-tetanus injection provides active immunity by providing preformed antibodies for tetanus.
