Solution

The correct option is D Rapid blood test
Serological testing is much more frequently used in areas, where leishmaniasis is endemic. A 2014 Cochrane review evaluated different rapid diagnostic tests. One of them, the rK30 immunochromatographic test, gave correct, positive results in 92% of the people with visceral leishmaniasis.
So, the correct answer is option D.
