Explanation

B is correct option because Tapeworms absorb food through their skin. The beef tapeworm is called Taenia saginata. This tapeworm grows in the intestines of humans to a length of 30-40 feet. Ingesting undercooked beef increases the risk of getting this parasite in one's system. However, beef that is cooked properly may still have these parasites in it, but in a dead form.
