A Correct answer
Explanation

Malaria primarily affects the liver and red blood cells. The Plasmodium parasite first develops in the liver, then infects red blood cells causing them to rupture. The spleen becomes enlarged as it works to filter out the damaged, infected red blood cells. While the parasite circulates in blood, the liver and spleen are the primary organs that sustain damage.
