Correct answer: C. Flurorescent staining of cytology smear
- A. Smear stained with Giemsa stain
- B. Smear stained with Wrist's stain
- C. Flurorescent staining of cytology smear
- D. Routing cytology

Fluorescent staining of a cytology smear can detect herpesvirus-infected cells and is more specific than routine cytology alone. Giemsa or Wright staining may show viral cytopathic changes, but fluorescent antibody testing is the better choice among these options.
