Ah, the good old pest house! Where the sick and the infested could go to ... well, I guess just to be isolated, really. Option A seems like the most logical choice here.

I believe the pest house was also used to treat contagious diseases, not just isolate the patients.

I agree with Chantell. It makes sense to isolate those with contagious diseases to prevent the spread.
