Solution

The correct option is A Merozoites
At the schizont stage, the parasite replicates its DNA multiple times without cellular segmentation. These schizonts then undergo cellular segmentation and differentiation to form roughly 16-18 merozoite cells in the erythrocytes or the red blood cells.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
