The answer is A.<span>

The parasite causing malaria will try to reproduce inside normal red blood cells.

Since the erytrocyte is going to be eliminated, the parasites inside will also be. This is a survival advantage, and so this allele tends to increase.
However, the disease only happens in heterozygotic people(</span><span><span>with one abnormal allele while the other is normal)</span> because in this cases the deformity is not so severe to cause anemia.</span>
