C
Escherichia coli
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'schizogony': it is a form of asexual reproduction involving multiple rounds of nuclear division before the cell divides into many daughter cells.
Recall that schizogony is characteristic of certain protozoan parasites, especially those in the genus Plasmodium, which causes malaria.
Recognize that Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli are bacteria that reproduce by binary fission, not schizogony.
Note that Candida albicans is a fungus that reproduces by budding, not schizogony.
Conclude that schizogony is specifically associated with Plasmodium species, making it the correct answer.
