Solution

The correct option is B Man
Guinea-worm disease is caused by the parasitic worm Dracunculus medinensis or "Guinea-worm". Dracunculus medinensis is a parasite of humans, dog, horse, cow, wolf, leopard, monkey, and baboon.
Juvenile stages live in fresh water and infect copepods (e.g. Cyclops - water fleas), the secondary host.

So, the correct answer is 'Man'.
