The correct answer is B, modified Kinyouns acid-fast stain.
This is the staining technique of choice for identification of Cryptosporidium
sp. Safranin staining (especially hot stain) is also suitable for
detection of this coccidian parasite.
Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts do not stain consistently with
Gram stain. Methylene blue stain does not stain Cryptosporidium
sp. oocysts, but is used in the Sabin-Feldman dye test, a
method used to diagnose toxoplasmosis.
