Answer

- [x] c) Human diploid cell vaccine

The Human Diploid Cell Vaccine (HDCV) is a modern, safe, cell-culture-derived inactivated vaccine used to prevent rabies in humans. “Sheep brain vaccine” and “neural vaccine” refer to older, now largely obsolete nerve-tissue-derived rabies vaccines (associated with a higher risk of neuroparalytic adverse reactions, and no longer recommended). The Jeryl Lynn vaccine is a mumps vaccine strain, unrelated to rabies.
