Solution

The correct option is B Blood and cerebrospinal fluid
Trypanosoma gambiens is a species of salivary trypanosome, which causes African trypanosomiasis, known also sleeping sickness in humans. It feeds on blood meal and in later stages of infection, the parasite may migrate from the bloodstream to infect the lymph and cerebrospinal fluids.
