Solution

The correct option is C Eating infected meat
  • Trichinosis is a parasitic disease caused by roundworms of the Trichinella type.
  • The Trichinella worm spreads to other animals or humans when they eat undercooked or raw infected meat. In humans, it is most often undercooked infected pork that causes persons to become ill with trichinosis. Trichinosis does not spread from person-to-person.
  • Hence Trichina infection spreads through eating infected meat.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Eating infected meat'.
