Solution

The correct option is B 10 to 21 days
The incubation period for varicella (chicken pox) is 10 to 21 days after exposure to a varicella or a herpes zoster rash. A mild prodrome of fever and malaise may occur 1 to 2 days before rash onset, particularly in adults. In children, the rash is often the first sign of disease.
