C.

liver of human

Schizogony is a stage in asexual reproduction of Plasmodium (malarial parasite) in which schizont is formed. From the human blood sporozoites enter the liver cells. It grows in size to become a rounded schizont called cryptozoite and further divides to form cryptomerozoites. The host liver cells rupture to liberate the cryptomerozoites into the liver sinusoids.
