Answer 1

The correct option is A

Blood Test

The blood test is mostly favoured for testing allergy. This test measures the concentration of specific antibodies in the blood for an allergen. A sample of the patient's blood is sent to a laboratory for analysis. Multiple allergens can be detected with a single blood sample. It helps to determine what a patient is allergic to, helps predict and follow the disease development and estimate the risk of a severe reaction.
