Solution

The correct option is B Giardia
Giardia intestinalis is known as the grand old man of the intestine because it only resides in the intestine and not in any other tissue. This is a flagellated protozoan that causes infection in the small intestine and does not spread by the bloodstream.
Thus the correct answer is option B.
