The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
P. vivax, P. falciparum, P. ovale, and P. malariae are the four species responsible for malaria. Hence Assertion is correct.
The two first stages(sporozoite and trophozoite) take place exclusively into the human body, while the third(Gametocytic stage) one starts in the human body and is completed into the mosquito organism by the formation of gametes. Hence Reason is correct.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
