Rotavirus is a double stranded RNA virus responsible for causing diarrhea in infants.

According to the graph,it can be seen that the vaccine is able to provide protection to the infants against rotavirus infection. Therefore, the hypothesis that the vaccine is ineffective against Rotavirus infection is not true.

The correct answer would be option C. the new vaccine is ineffective in protecting infants against any rotavirus infection.
