Solution

The correct option is C ELISA
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a technique based on the principle of antigen-antibody interaction. It is carried out to detect and measure antibodies, hormones, peptides and proteins in the blood. Antibodies are blood proteins produced in response to a specific antigen.

ELISA can be used to detect some of the following conditions:
  • Ebola
  • Pernicious anaemia
  • AIDS
  • Rotavirus
