Solution

The correct option is B Formation of microgametes
Exflagellation is the extrusion of rapidly waving flagellum-like micro-gametes from microgametocytes, as in the case of human malaria parasites, this occurs in the blood meal taken by the proper anopheline vector within a few minutes after ingestion of the infected blood by the mosquito.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
