D) actively acquired immunity - immunity passed via the placenta or milk to offspring

Explanation:

The option that is matched incorrectly is, actively acquired immunity - immunity passed via the placenta or milk to offspring. The immunity that is passed via the placenta or milk to the offspring is passively acquired, so there is a mismatch in this answer. Actively acquired immunity refers to the immunity that was acquired after an infection. As the offspring acquired this immunity through the placenta it was passively acquired.
