Solution

The correct option is D Both B and C
Hexacanth is the larval stage of Taenia which are released when eggs are hatched. The hexacanth then develops into cysticercus or metacestode phase in voluntary muscles. The early cysticercus absorbs nutritive substance from host tissues and grows in size. It is now called mature cysticercus or hydatid larva or bladder worm.
