The apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium falciparum causes malaria, a disease that kills hundreds of thousands of people each year.

Thus, they share many genes with their red algal ancestors and with prokaryotes but few with humans. Based on your knowledge of apicomplexans and P. falicparum, which of the following theoretical drugs are likely to help treat malaria?
