Solution

The correct option is D Type: Endoparasite
Organism: Tapeworm
If an organism is found living inside the intestine of the host organism they are classified as an endoparasite.
Bedbugs are exoparasites and are found living on the body of the host. So the organism responsible for stomach pain and nausea is tapeworm.
