Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
Assertion is correct as Tapeworm, roundworm & pinworm are all endoparasites (parasites that lives inside its host).
Reason is also correct as the main cause of the intestinal infection is improperly cooked food. However, tapeworm infection occur by eating improperly cooked food, roundworm is transmitted by contaminated food & water and pinworm or ringworm is transmitted through food or improper sanitary condition. So, although the reason is partially correct it is not correct explanation,
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.'
