Solution
The correct option is C Plasmodium malariae
Incubation period depends on the species of malaria. Plasmodium falciparum has the shortest incubation time, typically 10 to 14 days. For P. vivax, incubation is usually between 10 to 17 days, but can be much longer. P. ovale has an incubation period similar to that of P. vivax, and can also be dormant for many months or even years. P. malariae have an incubation time of between 16-59 days.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
