Solution

The correct option is B Children
Ascariasis is an intestinal infection caused by a parasitic roundworm. Kids are more likely than adults to develop gastrointestinal symptoms with an ascariasis infection because their smaller intestines are at greater risk for an intestinal blockage. The greater the number of worms involved, the more severe the symptoms are likely to be.

So, the correct answer is 'Children'.
