Which type of microorganism can be transmitted through larvae in food that grow into full organisms inside a host?

• A. Bacteria.
• B. Viruses.
• C. Parasites.
• D. Fungi.

Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the types of microorganisms listed: bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Each has distinct characteristics and modes of transmission.
2. Recall that bacteria and viruses typically multiply by themselves and do not require a host to develop from larvae into full organisms inside a host.
3. Recognize that parasites are organisms that often have complex life cycles, including stages such as larvae, which can be transmitted through contaminated food and then develop into mature organisms inside the host.
4. Note that fungi generally do not have a larval stage transmitted through food that grows inside a host; they usually grow externally or cause infections differently.
5. Conclude that the microorganism type transmitted through larvae in food that grow into full organisms inside a host is parasites.
