Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Tapeworm is flat, segmented worms that live in the intestines of some animals or humans. Roundworm can infest the human digestive tract, specifically the small intestine. Pinworms are tiny, white, thread-like worms that live in the rectum. Hence, tapeworm, roundworm and pinworm are endoparasites (parasites lives inside the host). Humans are subject to infection worms if they eat undercooked meat such as pork, beef and fish, or if they live in, or eat food prepared in, conditions of poor hygiene.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
