Explanation:

Parasitic infections often target areas where they can obtain nutrients and reproduce. Intestines provide a rich environment with digested food, and many parasites (like certain worms) inhabit the intestines. Blood is also a common site as parasites (such as malaria - causing Plasmodium) can live and multiply in red blood cells. Skin is less of a general target for parasitic infections compared to intestines and blood. Lungs are not the most common primary sites for general parasitic infections.

Answer:

D. blood and intestines
