Regarding the life cycle of Plasmodium, evaluate the statements about structural modifications occurring inside the host: A. Sporozoites enter the hepatocytes and divide by schizogony, leading to the formation of cryptozoites. B. Inside RBCs, the merozoites become rounded and modify into young trophozoites (ring stage). C. As the trophozoite grows, a central vacuole develops, pushing the nucleus to one side, leading to the signet ring stage followed by the amoeboid stage. D. In the amoeboid stage, dots called Schuffner's granules appear in the cytoplasm of the host corpuscles. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
