Detailed explanation-1: -Plasmodium after feeding on red blood cells in humans undergoes asexual reproduction which is called schizogony or multiple fission. In multiple fission, Plasmodium divides into many cells. So, the correct answer is ‘Multiple fission’

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The ability of a cell to divide into several cells during reproduction in plasmodium is called multiple fission.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction of Plasmodium is a type of multiple fission and termed schizogony.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plasmodium multiplies by binary fission.
