"B is grammatically correct. The subjunctive remains in force even though it is likely the patient will follow the doctor's advice. To actualize the blood test with "has" would be telling an untruth. The subjunctive holds the notion of a suggestion in place. Thus does grammar make its own modest contribution to truthful speaking."

I've already explained that of the possible answers, it has to be B.
" even though it is likely the patient will follow the doctor's advice." : it WASN'T a doctor's advice; it was the parent's suggestion. That's why using the subjunctive is inappropriate, but that's the fault of the forced choice of possible answers. The test writer should be fired.
And the idea of "Jane's pale face suggested she BE ill" - using the subjunctive - is preposterous.
YOU'RE WHIPPING A DEAD HORSE.
