Solution

The correct option is B the parasite after its rapid multiplication inside RBCs ruptures them, releasing the stage to enter fresh RBCs
In malaria, chill and fever are due to the release of a toxic substance haemozoin, formed by the breakdown of haemoglobin present in RBCs. It will be released after the rupture of RBCs in erythrocytic schizogony.
