Solution

The correct option is C Incidental parasite
Accidental or incidental parasite. These are parasites that establish themselves in or on a host in which they do not normally live. Hydatid worms do not really live in humans. They live in dogs. They accidentally enter by ingestion or by contacting the infected animal. So, option C is correct.
