Solution

The correct option is C Neck
The neck region of tapeworm is present behind the scolex. It is thin, small, narrow and unsegmented which grows continuously and proliferates proglottids by transverse fission or asexual budding. Therefore, this region is variously called as growth zone, the area of proliferation or budding zone, etc.
