Question

• A. Does not require solid food
• B. Obtains food through general surface
• C. Does not require food

Answer 1

The correct option is B Obtains food through general surface

Cestodes are endoparasites of the intestine in vertebrates. A common example is tapeworm Taenia. As these organisms absorb predigested food available in the surface of the intestine, the digestive system is absent in these animals.

So, the correct answer is 'Obtains food through general surface'
