T. solium causes taeniasis in humans through the ingestion of tapeworm larval cysts (cysticerci) in undercooked and infected pork. Human tapeworm carriers excrete tapeworm eggs in their faeces. Humans can also become infected with T. solium eggs by ingesting contaminated food or water or as a result of poor hygiene.

When they enter the central nervous system they can cause neurological symptoms including epileptic seizures. So, option A is correct.
