Solution
The correct option is B Haemozoin
Haemozoin is a disposal product formed from the digestion of blood by some blood-feeding parasites. Upon digestion of haemoglobin high quantities of its non-protein component or free heme is released. A heme is a prosthetic group that consists of an iron atom contained in the center of a heterocyclic porphyrin ring. Free heme is toxic to cells, so the parasites convert it into an insoluble crystalline form called hemozoin. In malaria parasites, hemozoin is called as the malaria pigment.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
