Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Schizogony is an asexual reproduction in which schizont is formed.
From the human blood, sporozoites enter the liver cells.
The sporozoite grows in size to become a rounded schizont called merozoite.
The latter divides to form cryptomerozoites.
The cryptomerozoites formed during pre-erythrocytic schizogony may enter the human RBCs to start the erythrocytic schizogony, while some of them enter new liver cells to repeat hepatic (liver) schizogony.
