Solution

The correct option is B Erythrocytes and liver cells
P.vivax are large and fill up the entirely of the red blood cell with 12-24 merozoites, each containing visible chromatin and cytoplasm. They are also present in the liver cells. Their size and shape can differentiate from the more compact, P. ovale and P. malariae schizonts.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
