Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three options are related to each other. The parasite Plasmodium falciparum causes malaria, and one of its key characteristics is its ability to infect red blood cells as merozoites. Blackwater fever is a severe complication of malaria in which red blood cells are destroyed, leading to hemoglobinuria (presence of hemoglobin in urine). Therefore, all three choices are correct.
