The correct answer is (A) Liver of man.

Sporogony of the malarial parasite occurs in the liver of humans. Sporogony is a process in the life cycle of the malarial parasite where sporozoites, which are the infectious form of the parasite, develop within the liver cells (hepatocytes) after being transmitted by an infected mosquito during a blood meal. After maturation, these sporozoites are released into the bloodstream and invade red blood cells, initiating the erythrocytic cycle of the parasite.
