Best answer

Correct option: (c) digestive tract

Explanation:

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’ system. However, beef that is cooked properly may still have these parasites in it, but in a *** form. This definitely doesn’t sound too appetizing.
