Answer:

c. beef mosquito

Step-by-step explanation:

Taenia saginata, also known as the beef tapeworm, is transmitted to humans through the consumption of raw or undercooked beef that contains the larval form of the tapeworm. Proper cooking or freezing of the meat can kill the larvae and prevent infection. After being ingested, the larvae can develop into adult tapeworms in the human intestine.
