Question

are intestinal parasites that can live up to 20 years and grow up to 50 feet in length.
a. toxoplasmosis
b. amoebae
c. malaria
d. tape worms

Explanation:

• Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a parasite, not an intestinal parasite itself.
• Amoebae are single - celled organisms, not large intestinal parasites with such long lengths and lifespans.
• Malaria is a disease caused by Plasmodium parasites (transmitted by mosquitoes), not an intestinal parasite.
• Tapeworms are intestinal parasites. Some tapeworm species can live in the human intestine for many years (up to 20 years in some cases) and can reach lengths of several meters (up to about 15 meters or 50 feet).

Answer:

D. Tape worms
