Correct Answer

The correct answer is B, Capillaria philippinensis.  The normal definitive host for Capillaria philippinensis appears to be fish-eating birds.  The life cycle of this nematode involves small freshwater fish as intermediate hosts, which, upon sporadic ingestion by humans, releases larvae that develop into adults in the intestine.
