Through a chemical treatment, we reduce the pathogenicity of the virus and immunogenicity is retained that's why we get antibodies.

Attenuated vaccine is the weakened form of wild type of the pathogen. It consists of the live, whole bacterial cell or viral particle that is immunogenic but not virulent. This helps in generation of memory cells against the particular virus or bacteria.

The answer is A. They will continue to replicate and produce immunity, but usually does not cause illness.

I think option D is correct because actually we weekend or attenuate them via chemicals. And while doing this why we will let their genome enter our body. So it's option D.

When something is attenuated, it means it has been weakened so this case the viruses may have no genome or will be altered by chemicals.
