Answer 1

• Akio built active immunity because he built up antibodies due to exposure to the flu.
• Active immunity is a type of immunity which develops once a foreign antigen enters the body and after the exposure to such antigens, antibodies are made in the body.
• The antibodies created in response to the antigens are not only involved in neutralizing the antigen but besides this memory cells are also generated.
• Due to these memory cells, an active immunity is built which will allow protection from the same antigen on subsequent exposure.

Answer 2

active because he built up antibodies due to exposure to the flu
