Answer:
A
Solution:
In the life cycle ofPlasmodium, asexual reproduction takes place in the human host (in liver cells and red blood cells).
The sexual stages, known as gametocytes, develop in the red blood cells of the human host.
When a femaleAnophelesmosquito bites an infected person, it takes up these gametocytes along with the blood meal.
Fertilization and further development of the gametes take place in the gut (stomach) of the mosquito.
