B. A-4;B-3;C-2;D-1
Step-by-step solution
Asexual reproduction of sporozoites: Occurs in the liver cells of humans where sporozoites multiply after initial infection. Haemozoin formation: Takes place in the RBCs of humans as Plasmodium parasites digest hemoglobin, leading to the release of haemozoin pigment. Fertilization: Happens in the gut of the mosquito where male and female gametocytes from human blood fuse. Storage of sporozoites: Sporozoites are stored in the salivary glands of the mosquito, ready to be transmitted to another human host during a bit
