Solution
The correct option is D Intestine
The cysts of E. histolytica enter the small intestine and release active amoebic parasites (trophozoites), which invade the epithelial cells of the large intestines, causing flask-shaped ulcers. Infection can then spread from the intestines to other organs - eg, the liver, lungs and brain, via the venous system. Amoebiasis is caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
