Option-4

Explanation:

Cow milk allergy or the cow milk protein allergy occurs when the allergy is caused by the proteins of the cow' milk when provided to the infant baby during the first 6 months.

The allergy is caused when the immune system of the infants consider the proteins of the cow milk as a foreign substance or antigens. These antigens activate the immune response which releases the chemicals and infant develop the symptoms of allergy.

Thus, option-4 is the correct answer.
