(B) The malaria parasite,$Plasmodium$,requires two hosts to complete its life cycle: humans (primary host) and mosquitoes (intermediate host). In the mosquito,the sexual stage of the life cycle occurs. Only the female $Anopheles$ mosquito acts as the vector for malaria because it requires a blood meal for egg production,during which it ingests the gametocytes from an infected human and transmits the sporozoites to a healthy human. Male mosquitoes feed on plant juices and do not bite humans.

Which mosquito actually transmits malaria and acts as the intermediate host for Plasmodium?
