Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The serum used for emergency treatment of snakebites contains antibodies against the snake venom, which are introduced into the body to provide immediate protection. This is an example of artificial passive immunity, where pre-formed antibodies are given to an individual to provide temporary immunity without the immune system having to produce them.
