Solution
The correct option is A Taenia solium
- Platyhelminthes is a triploblastic, bilaterally symmetrical acoelomate and the space between the body wall and the alimentary canal is filled with mesenchyme (connective tissue). The developing nerve net clearly indicates that they have an organ grade of organization. It has a distinct head, the scolex, contains suckers and a rostellum as organs of attachment.
- Sucker acts as an adhesion device in parasitic worms, cephalopods, and certain fishes and bats. It is a muscular structure for suction on the host or substrate. In parasitic worms such as annelids, flatworms, and roundworms, suckers are the organs of attachment to the host tissues.
So, the correct answer is option A.
