Solution

The correct option is B
Blood Test

The main types of allergy tests are skin tests, scratch tests and blood tests. In scratch or skin test, the doctor or nurse will put a tiny bit of allergen (like pollen or food) on the skin, then prick the outer layer of skin or make a small scratch on the skin. Whereas blood tests measure the concentration of IgE antibodies for specific food. IgE, short for “immunoglobulin E,” is the antibody that triggers food allergy symptoms.
