Hint: Human body follows asexual reproduction in the liver when plasmodium enters into it. Schizogony produced the merozoites during the process of sporozoites. Agamogomy is also known as the name schizogony and also helps to produce the new individual by the cell division.

Complete answer:
Plasmodium is a parasitic protozoa that causes malaria. Malaria which infected the humans, red blood cells in the mammals, reptiles, birds and occur worldwide in temperature zones and in the tropical regions. Malaria is a mosquito borne infectious disease caused by the intracellular parasite plasmodium also known as agamogomy. And the symptoms of the malaria obtained by the schizogony of plasmodium sweating, anaemia, fever and Chills.
There are two types of hosts present in the plasmodium such as vertebrate host that is part of the asexual reproduction present in the human. And the second type of plasmodium host is blood sucking insect part of the sexual reproduction. There are three life cycles of the plasmodium erythrocytic in the human liver, sporogonic in the mosquito and erythrocytes in the RBCs of the man. The transmission of the plasmodium parasite with the help of sporozoites injected with saliva and entered in the circulation form that is trapped by the liver.

Therefore the correct option is (C).

Note: Malaria parasites also known as a plasmodium in which schizogony occurred the asexual reproduction in which schizont formed from the sporozoites of human blood then enter into the liver cells. And obtained cryptozoite looks like rounded schizont after the growth in the sporozoites.
