Solution

The correct option is D Stomach wall of mosquito
After oocyst maturation is complete, the oocyst divides to form multiple haploid sporozoites in the stomach wall of the mosquito. Immature sporozoites break through the oocyst wall into the hemolymph. The sporozoites then migrate to the salivary gland and complete their differentiation.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
