Solution

The correct option is A RBC of man
Schuffner's dots refers to a hematological finding that is associated with malaria, exclusively found in P. ovale and P. vivax. P. vivax produces morphologic alterations in infected host erythrocytes that are visible by light microscopy in Romanowsky-stained blood smears as multiple brick-red dots. These morphologic changes, referred to as Schüffner's dots are important in the identification of this species of malarial parasite.
So, the correct answer is 'RBC of man'.
