Verified by Toppr

Hemozoin is a disposal product formed from the digestion of blood by some blood-feeding parasites. Inside RBC the excretory products of the parasite along with the iron part of the haemoglobin forms a toxic substance called hemozoin. When RBC bursts these substances are released in the blood causing chill and fever.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
