The right answer is passive immunity.

Passive immunization involves directly injecting the antibody against the pathogen or toxin from the pathogen into the body. The body is therefore immediately protected, without having to wait for the antibodies to develop. It is an emergency procedure and the effect lasts only a few weeks, since immune system defense cells have not been in sufficient contact with the actual antigen.
