Solution

The correct option is B Liver fluke
In the life cycle of Fasciola, each parasite produces a number of the capsules which passes out of the host. Each capsule produces a Miracidium, free swimming ciliated nonfeeding larvae. Miracidium enters the snail and metamorphoses to form Cercariae, through a series of stages. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
