Malaria can be cured by administering -

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Quinine.
· Quinine is a medication that has been traditionally used to treat malaria, especially for cases caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. It is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree and has been used for centuries as an effective antimalarial drug.
Information Booster:
· Quinine works by interfering with the parasite's ability to digest hemoglobin in red blood cells, leading to the parasite's death.
· It is still used in certain cases where the malaria parasite has become resistant to newer treatments.
Additional Information:
· Streptomycin: An antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not effective against malaria.
· Paracetamol: Used to reduce fever and pain but not a cure for malaria.
· Penicillin: Another antibiotic effective against bacterial infections, not malaria.
