The correct option is (A) Hexacanth of taenia.
Explanation:
- Cysticercosis or Taeniasis is an infection of the intestine by tapeworms. T. solium is extremely dangerous to one's health.
- Humans get T. solium taeniasis by ingesting the parasite's larval cysts (cysticerci) in undercooked and contaminated pork.
- T. solium eggs can potentially infect humans by poor hygiene (through the fecal-oral pathway) or consuming contaminated food or drink.
- T. solium eggs that have been consumed grow into larvae (called cysticerci) in numerous organs of the human body. When they infiltrate the central nervous system, they can produce neurological symptoms such as epileptic seizures (neurocysticercosis).
