Solution

The correct option is A Pig
Pigs become infected by ingesting eggs or gravid proglottids. Once eggs are ingested, oncospheres hatch in the intestine, invade the intestinal wall and migrate to striated muscles as well as the brain, liver and other tissues where they develop into cysticerci. So, option D is correct.
