Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
Parasitic infections, caused by intestinal helminths and protozoan parasites, are among the most prevalent infections in humans. Nematodes (roundworms), cestodes (tapeworms) and trematodes (flatworms) are among the most common helminths that inhabit the human gut. Intestinal parasites can be acquired in many ways. Some parasites can live in the soil for extended periods. They may penetrate the body through the skin or if contaminated soil is ingested accidentally. Other parasites live in animals, such as pigs and cows. People can become infested with these by eating undercooked meat or drinking unpasteurized milk (milk that has not been processed with heat to kill parasites and bacteria).
Therefore, the correct answer is option B
