Solution

The correct option is A Taenia solium
Taenia solium, commonly called pork tapeworm, causes intestinal infection called taeniasis. It is due to ingestion of contaminated pork. Cysticercosis is infection with larvae of Taenia solium, which develops after ingestion of ova excreted in human feces. Adult worms may cause mild GI symptoms or passage of a motile segment in the stool.
So, the correct option is 'Taenia Solium'.
