Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
The cryptomerozoite formed during pre-erythrocytic schizogony may enter the human RBCs to start the erythrocytic schizogony, while some of them enter new liver cells and reproduce asexually to give rise to a large number of meta-cryptomerozoites; few are smaller in size and called micro-meta-cryptomerozoites.
