Solution

The correct option is D It absorbs its food through body surface
Tapeworms come under Cestoda, a class of parasitic flatworms. They anchor to the host's intestinal wall and obtain their food by absorbing the nutrients through its skin as the digested food in the intestine of the host flows over and around it. So, the correct answer is option D.
