Vedclass · Answer

(D) $Taenia \ solium$ (pork tapeworm) belongs to the phylum $Platyhelminthes$.It is an endoparasite that lives in the intestine of the host.Since it lives in an environment where food is already digested by the host,it absorbs nutrients directly through its body surface (tegument) via diffusion.Consequently,it lacks a mouth,an alimentary canal,and an anus.Option $A$ is incorrect because it uses suckers for attachment,not for sucking food.Option $B$ is incorrect because its body is divided into a scolex (head),neck,and strobila (proglottids),not a thorax or abdomen.Option $C$ is incorrect because onchospheres are not resistant to boiling temperatures.
