Most vaccines are derived from weakened or killed strains of the same
virus that they prevent, unlike the derivation of smallpox vaccine
from a different virus altogether.

(A) the derivation of smallpox vaccine from a different virus altogether

(B) smallpox vaccine, which is derived from a different virus altogether

(C) smallpox's vaccine, which gets derived from a different virus altogether

(D) when smallpox vaccine is derived from an altogether different virus

(E) the altogether different virus from which smallpox vaccine is derived

My guess is "B"
It is a parallel structure: we are comparing "most vaccines" to one vaccine, which leaves us with "B" or "C".
Then I choose B, because of parallel between "are" and "is". Also "smallpox's" sounds weird.

B IMO

Vaccine should be compared to vaccine, So A, D, E out...

In C, apart for possessive smallpox's, it also says.. gets derived.. which can mean it gets derived on it own.. which is not true..
