Vedclass · Answer

(B) is the correct answer. $Plasmodium$ $falciparum$ is a protozoan parasite and is one of the species of $Plasmodium$ that causes malaria in humans.It is a digenetic parasite,meaning its life cycle is completed in two hosts: humans and the female $Anopheles$ mosquito.The sexual cycle occurs in the female $Anopheles$ mosquito,where infective stages called sporozoites are formed.These are transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected female $Anopheles$ mosquito.The asexual cycle occurs in humans in two phases (liver and blood stages).Malaria caused by $P. falciparum$ (also known as malignant tertian or pernicious malaria) is the most dangerous form of malaria,with the highest rate of complications and mortality.Regarding other options: The scientific name of the common house lizard is $Hemidactylus$,while $Musca$ $domestica$ is the scientific name of the common housefly.The scientific name of the Indian tiger is $Panthera$ $tigris$.The full name of $E. coli$ is $Escherichia$ $coli$,which is a bacterium,not $Entamoeba$ $coli$ (which is a commensal amoeba).
