Solution
The correct option is B Tapeworm
The tapeworm stage (Taenia hydatigena) occurs in the small intestine of the dog, with the tapeworm itself being up to three meters long. The adults produce eggs that pass out in tapeworm segments in the dog's feces. If these are on pasture, they can be eaten by sheep in which larvae develop and migrate from the gut into the liver or onto the surface of various organs where large cysts, up to 60 mm long, can form.
The cycle continues when dogs eat sheep carcasses that contain viable cysts that develop into tapeworms in the dog's small intestine.So, the correct answer is option D.
