The simultaneous bursting of millions of which type of cells causes the symptoms of malaria
Correct answer: B. Red blood cells
- A. White blood cells
- B. Red blood cells
- C. Platelets
- D. All of these
Explanation
Malaria symptoms are caused by the simultaneous bursting of millions of red blood cells, a process induced by the malaria parasite, Plasmodium. When these parasites multiply within red blood cells, they eventually cause the cells to burst, releasing more parasites into the bloodstream and leading to symptoms such as fever and chills. White blood cells and platelets are not involved in this process, as they have different roles in the body.
