A) Tapeworm

Explanation:

got it right on edge nuity

Peter is complaining of stomach pain and constant hunger as he was diagnosed with a worm infection.

  • Peter feels hungry because the tapeworm is absorbing food from his intestine as tapeworm begins to feed off your body's nutrients to grow once it invades the body.

How tapeworm infection occurs?

  • Tapeworm infection is caused by ingesting food or water contaminated with tapeworm eggs or larvae.

  • When tapeworm hatches and attaches itself to your intestine, it starts feeding off body's nutrients causing increase in apatite (hunger increases).

  • It grows by reproducing proglottids ( chain looking body part) and the cycle continues.

  • Planaria upon causing infection feeds on blood cells hence can not cause apatite.

  • Leech and marine worm can not invade the body like tapeworm and planaria.
