A. Chyle is a milky fluid formed by the combination of fat globules and lymph. It is absorbed by lacteals (specialized lymphatic vessels) in the small intestine and transports dietary fats to the lymphatic system.
B. Plasma is the liquid component of blood, not a mixture of fat and lymph.
C. Lymph is the clear fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system, but it is not specifically mixed with fats like chyle.
D. Lacteal refers to the lymphatic vessels in the small intestine that absorb fats, but it is not the name of the fluid itself. The fluid is called chyle.

A. Autoimmunity is a malfunction of the immune system where the body attacks its own tissues — it is not a type of protective immunity acquired through infection or exposure.
B. Species immunity refers to natural resistance to certain diseases that affect other species (e.g., humans not being susceptible to some animal viruses), not immunity acquired through infection.
C. Passive immunity involves receiving antibodies from another source (like from mother to baby or via antibody-containing injections) and does not require the immune system to produce its own response.
D. Active immunity is the correct answer. It develops when the body is exposed to a pathogen or its toxins and responds by producing its own antibodies and memory cells, providing long-term protection.
