c by giving several synonyms
d by identifying the root and suffix

but the idea of purposely exposing people to a dangerous and painful disease terrified many americans. the first smallpox vaccination (vacks-in-ay-shun) wasnt developed until 1796 in england. (vaccination is the process of introducing a weakened or killed virus into a person in order to stimulate antibody protection against the disease. it does not cause the disease itself.)

Explanation:

To determine how the author helps readers understand "vaccination", we analyze the text. The author states "Vaccination is the process of introducing a weakened or killed virus into a person in order to stimulate antibody protection against the disease." This is a direct definition of the term. Option A is incorrect as no antonym is used. Option C is incorrect as no synonyms are provided. Option D is incorrect as the root and suffix of "vaccination" are not identified or explained. Only option B matches the author's approach of providing a definition.

Answer:

B. by providing the definition
