Solution

The correct option is B Decrease the immune response
A number of maturational changes occur in Plasmodium while it is in the host body. These changes allow a change in surface molecules that make it very hard for the immune system to recongise and start attacking. Moreover, it has been showing increasing resistance against antibiotics that make it the need of the hour to develop a vaccine against it.
