Solution

The correct option is C Taeniasis
Taeniasis is an intestinal infection which is caused by eating raw or uncooked pork or beef. It is a parasitic infection caused by the tapeworm species like Taenia saginata, Taenia solium and Taenia asiatica. Taenia saginata is a beef tapeworm, Taenia solium is a pork tapeworm and Taenia asiatica is an asiatic tapeworm. Hence, if we eat raw or uncooked beef or pork, we can become infected by these species.
