Solution

The correct option is C RBC
The life cycle of Plasmodium is characterized by an exogenous sexual phase (sporogony) which occurs in female Anopheles mosquitoes and an endogenous asexual phase (schizogony) which take place in the infected host. Pre-erythrocytic schizogony occurs in the liver and erythrocytic schizogony occurs in RBCs
So, the correct answer is 'RBC'
