Detailed explanation-1: -Natural immunity is acquired from exposure to the disease organism through infection with the actual disease. Vaccine-induced immunity is acquired through the introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination.
Detailed explanation-2: -Artificially-acquired passive immunity is an immediate, but short-term immunization provided by the injection of antibodies, such as gamma globulin, that are not produced by the recipient’s cells. These antibodies are developed in another individual or animal and then injected into another individual.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vaccinating pathogenic microbes into our body deliberately produces a similar response and is termed as artificially acquired immunity. Immunization is a process providing resistant to pathogenic microbes and other infectious diseases by the administration of a vaccine into the body.
