Solution
The correct option is D Tape worm Tapeworm bores through the intestinal wall into a blood vessel and is carried to muscle tissue in which it forms a protective capsule (encysts) and is called as a cysticercus, or bladder worm. Cysticercus is a tapeworm larva that consists of a fluid-filled sac containing an invaginated scolex and is situated in the tissues of an intermediate host.
