Question 4 • FL-2000310-Biology 1

After having the chicken pox vaccine, Marta went to a party where someone had the chicken pox virus. Which best describes why Marta did not get chicken pox?

Answer
A
Marta is not allergic to chicken pox anymore.
B
Her memory cells recognized the pathogen and started to make antibodies.
C
Her cells produced chemicals that could destroy the chicken pox virus.
D
Chicken pox can be passed only through bodily fluids.

Explanation

The chicken pox vaccine prepares the immune system to recognize the virus. If Marta is exposed later, memory cells recognize the pathogen and prompt the production of antibodies, helping prevent illness. Choice B correctly describes this immune response; vaccination does not make someone “not allergic” to chicken pox.
