Solution

The correct option is C Taenia
The scolex is the head of the tapeworm or Taenia. It is a knob-like anterior end of a tapeworm, having suckers or hook-like parts that in the adult stage serve as organs of attachment to the host on which the tapeworm is parasitic.
So, the correct answer is option C.
