Correct Answer:
Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Here both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. Tapeworm, roundworm, and pinworm all are parasites and cause disease in the human body and live mainly in the human intestine. They cause infection in the intestine. Improperly cooked foods can cause infection as it may cause tapeworm infection. But roundworm and pinworm are transmitted by contaminated food and water and improper sanitary conditions.
