The answer is the option (d) intestine of mosquito

Explanation: The sporozoites, which are the infective stage of the malaria-causing parasite (Plasmodium), are produced in the mosquito's gut and then migrate to its salivary glands. When the female Anopheles mosquito bites a person, these sporozoites are transmitted into the human bloodstream, initiating the infection.
