Solution
The correct option is B When temperature rises with vigour Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium which completes its life cycle in two hosts i.e., mosquito and human. When it enters into the human body, at the merozoite stage they enter the bloodstream and lysed RBCs and characterized by the high fever. At this time most of the parasite is floating around the bloodstream thus, it is the best time to collect the blood sample from the patient.
