Solution

The correct option is C Alveoli of lungs
This larva does not have the power of infection. It becomes moulted into second stage larvae which infect the host through consumption of contaminated food and water. In the alveoli of lungs, it undergoes the 2nd moulting to produce the 3rd stage larva.
