(A) The correct matching is as follows:
$(a)$ Pre-erythrocytic cycle: In this stage, sporozoites from the mosquito's saliva enter the human blood and reach the liver cells.
$(b)$ Exo-erythrocytic cycle: In this stage, the parasite multiplies within the liver cells, eventually breaking them and releasing merozoites into the blood.
$(c)$ Endo-erythrocytic cycle (Erythrocytic cycle): In this stage, the merozoites (or meta-cryptomerozoites) enter the $RBC$s, where they become spherical and undergo further development.
Therefore, the correct sequence is $(a-2), (b-3), (c-1)$.
